Our sparrows gravitate more towards seed than suet… perhaps it is the kind of suet you are putting out. I usually put out hot pepper suet and it keeps the woodpeckers very happy and keeps the squirrels from eating it all up. Love the little fellow on the bottom right… has the one leg extended to balance and the beak is all up in the suet. Nice composition!
Nice shot! I have lots of sparrows visiting my garden , but like @kvphoto seem to prefer the dry seeds! - Such messy little eaters - scattering a lot of seeds to the ground, to the delight of the blackbirds and wood pigeons !
@kvphoto@beryl Hi KV and Beryl. I came upon this feeder in a public park. (In fact, there were two feeders). The park is near a government building and a hospital, so I'm thinking that maybe an employee of one of these institutions is the person to fill the feeders. I don't know. (I somehow doubt that bird seed is in the government budget, but who knows.) Interesting about suet vs. dry seeds. And what a clever idea about hot pepper :)
Nice that someone is keeping the feeders full for these little guys, no matter who it is. I too doubt that seed is in the government budget unless someone is sneaking it in, under some odd category.
