Personally, I don't feel it's a good idea to feed the birds...there is plenty of their natural food around.
The feeders do attract non-bird creatures....squirrels, rats, raccoons...and as Gracie said, some beautiful sandhill cranes. These birds can peck holes in your screening as they try to get what they feel are good eats from plants on your lanai. A friend had this happen to her two times.
