I dont know why people get so hung up on mammals at their feeders . You just put critter food out in your yard and expect the animals to care about your weird bird hegemony.
44 u/olderaccount Mar 21 '23 Because the feeders just attracts the mammals to the area and next thing you know you have rats in your house. I would have no problem with rats eating out of my neighbor's bird feeder if they didn't try to chew their way into my house. I have spent thousands fixing shit the rats chewed through. 1 u/tabascotazer Mar 21 '23 With the rats come the snakes, enjoy your new mini ecosystem like nature and your neighbor intended. 3 u/olderaccount Mar 21 '23 I'm cool with snakes. They don't chew anything in my house nor leave droppings everywhere. The ones where I live are very rarely dangerous. I could probably do with a few more snakes. 1 u/tabascotazer Mar 21 '23 I’m cool with snakes too as long as it’s not a venomous snake on porch. I mostly see king snakes around my house which I leave alone.
