So…I’ve been trying to find ways to put food out for my cardinal friends, while avoiding inviting every gray dove in the neighborhood over for a free feed.

So far, I’ve relied on the fact that they are more trusting of me than other birds are, so they are the first to fly over when I appear outside with bird seed.

I’m afraid that won’t last too long before the other birds figure out I’m not a danger to them.

What then? I’ll have to make it up as I go along.
