Simple Solution

About mid-week, we ran out of birdseed. That would be thanks to the squirrels, who eat and eat and eat and... well, you get the idea.

Anyway, I rummaged around to see what we had and it turns out we had one birdfeeder's worth of safflower left. We used it - the finches at the old place liked it just fine. Apparently the squirrels are above eating such simple fare - I haven't seen one since the "good stuff" ran out. The best part? Safflower is cheaper.
