When the squirrels joined in, we stopped. We had attracted a cardinal, or maybe more, that pecked at reflections of himself in the windows for years. Even after we stopped feeding them, they would peck on the windows. When the deer invaded, all of the birds seemed to relocate. I enjoyed your spin on Loraine's birds.R.
