What Do You Get If You Sow Birdseed?

The local birds (and also chipmunks) are very happy with our bird feeder. At certain times of the day, the area around the feeder is positively mobbed, not just with small birds perching on the feeder itself, but larger birds like doves and quail availing themselves of the spoils knocked out of the feeder by the smaller birds.

( Nice crop of birds we're raising )

They're going to be so disappointed when we go away for three weeks and stop refilling the feeder.
