We have a blue spruce across the driveway from the feeder that the cardinals adore. We seem to have two pairs now.
The safflower seeds just seemed to really pare down the other birds on the feeders, although the few that really liked them were adorable. We're done with those.
Airsoft gun for the squirrels. 8 feet above ground for the bears. There's no keeping squirrels off the suet cakes, even the threat of non-lethal firepower. Dogs keep the bears at bay too.
