My bird feeder is right outside my sewing room window. The cardinals have been so pretty this winter. One time Ithink I counted 12 males and about that many females at one time. It's hard to count them as they move so fast. I buy a bag of food a week, plus suet packs for the woodpeckers and whoever else wants to sneak a bite. They sure provide a lot of entertainment when it is so bad outside. Even during the day we were getting the ice storm they were busy out there. God sure provides for them.

Thank you Bobbie, you reminded me of my much loved Grandma Rose. She loved cardinals. Usually her Christmas cards had a cardinal or two on it. How blessed you truly are to have those birds visit you.
We have bright yellow finch that become our pals in the spring and summer. We love them so much.
Bless you, Linda :-D

You might try bigger pieces of food for the jays and surround your feeder with a chicken wire cage that the jays can't get through, but the smaller birds can. Even making a chicken wire dome that fits over a pie pan or plate, could help. J
