I am so ashamed.
Not to worry... I feed birds. Squirrels are the only nuisance. Actually, with the right feeder design, they don't waste any seed. They just clean up the seed on the ground. I don't see the presence of any mice or any other unwanted critters. Sandhill cranes visit the pasture behind me, but have never shown any interest in my feeder, or my lanai screen for that matter.
