  5. Maybe this will work for you. When I first set up a feeder I bought some chicken feed, thought if chickens would enjoy it so would others. And the first day I put it out the birds came like flies to rotting fruit. There were a thousand of them at least.
    The next day there were none! Not one. Did I poison them?
    It was then I took another look at the sack. The food was for “laying hens.” Obviously it did funny things to wild birds. I had to pull all the chicken feed out of the feeder and hose it down so the odour would disappear. It took a month before the birds trusted me to come back. Now I have about 40 regulars. But that day, the trees were full, the fence was covered, and everywhere birds could sit while waiting their turn to eat was occupied. They went through half the sack in about 4 hours, it must have smelled damn good. But the one who ate it, once was enough!
