Just how many fewer birds there are around than there were even a few years ago. But I guess that makes sense with insect numbers plummeting, it's just bugs don't look so pretty at my feeders, and my feeders stay full longer than they used to.

Maybe they all moved over to me, we have a lot more birds nowadays then we had a few years ago.

That's good to know, unfortunately over our lifetime the number of adult breeding pairs of birds in the US has dropped by 2.9 billion, that's billion with a b. But if you've got an influx in your area put up some nesting boxes and plays some sexy music. We need more birds.

I will look into nesting boxes, might be a bit difficult, we don't really have that many good areas.

But we do provide first class catering during the winter and that is extremely appreciated.
