colleen, yea, they drink out of the birdfeeder at times.. they eat my rose bush leaves, and our large garden that isn't visible, they eat tomato tops, jalapeno tops ( go figure! ), half zuchinni , but leave us the other half. They eat our other plants we grow as well, but leave some for us, lol... It is dry here, but its already in the low 30's at night since we live in the mountains here.
