Hello Dan and Tweeters.
We was feeding cut up apples and Orange halves.I used my expensive apples after I we was out of the bad apples.We had one Varied Thrush chasing another and pulled out some feathers.We having way to many birds right now that this birds get so aggressive.We also had a flock of 15 Bushtits what went on to the suet.I trying to go and get more apples.Only the Robin was eating the Oranges


Cheers Ruth Sullivan
