Well, I had a bird feeder until I built the tortoise pen, but then I was leery of attracting bird predators who would possibly be interested in tortoises, too, or of attracting birdseed eating animals like possibly raccoons, possums or skunks, who would then look at whatever else was available. So I haven't had a bird feeder since last summer. But I have oaks, so tons of acorns, which attract birds, anyway, and the little house wrens love all the cover of empty flower pots and bags of soil, so they hang around.
