last Christmas’s ,i got myself a bird feeder, i love birds especially chickadees. i put it up a week before Christmas’s, and waited for my first bird to show up, i waited an waited and no bird showed up, January went  by and  no birds.  thin the last day in  February i said to myself i well take it down on the first of march. well i woke up ,and lo an behold there were about 20 birds on my feeder.house Finch’s ,chickadees,purple finches,o boy i jumped for joy .so i guess if you want to have birds at your feeder you well have to wait a long time. but it is worth it. the end
