Yep costs a fortune in bird feed. That's a make shift one so my husband's got something to stare at when he glazes over working from home. I'm way too soft, I let the big boys have their feed and when they fly off, I top it up for the little ones. In all honesty the big birds only bother when it's really cold. Unfortunately we never get squirells in our garden.
Fingers crossed for something heavier but if it's not to be, I'm still happy with the icy cold wind
