To avoid problems with bears, I don't put up my feeders until after Christmas and then take them down in March. I only throw out a cupful of seed on to the patio right now in the morning so that I'm sure that it will be gone in a short period of time. By Christmas most bears have gone into hibernation and it is safe to put feeders up. I don't mind feeding the bears but they destroy the feeders and then become brave looking for more and will try to enter your home. I would love to feed birds year round but I have finally come to terms with our limitations of living in the woods!
Happy feeding. Linda, Hobbie, PA
That's good to know, Linda. I don't have problems with bears in this area of course. Lots of people here have raccoon issues though. In that case, they bring feeders in every night and return them in the morning.
Glad to hear you have come to terms with woodsy limitations. The good news is that you get many more types of birds than I do in town!
