My feeder is right above a rhody bush. This year the bush didn't
produce many blooms, and today I noticed some House Finches and
Black-Capped Chickadees pick at its leaves while sitting on it awaing
their turn at the feeder. Some of the leaves are really looking
chewed-up and, naturally, parts of the bush have a whitewashed
appearance. Can birds ruin rhododendron bushes??

TIA,
