Silly Birds

In order to encourage the birds to check out the new bird feeder, I laid down some bird seed around the base of it while they were watching me. A few minutes later, they swarmed the base of the new feeder, but did not pay any attention to the much larger amount of seed hanging from the feeder. Today, I noticed a couple of the little birds perching on the fence looking at the hanging feeder, but so far, none of them have seemed willing to try exploring it.
