You can hang the bell shape suet chunks in one of those mesh onion bags or get a suet feeder, make sure you hang it from a <span style="font-weight: bold">limb that will not support the weight of those damn squirrels or the birds will not get any of it.</span> Throwing the seeds on the ground the birds will have to compete with the squirels for it.

Suet is popular with titmice, chickadees, nuthatches and woodpeckers. I have couple suet feeders, next time you are in the Mall just pop into the Pet store and ask about Suet feeders they are inexpensive and the store will also give you little tips. Birds are really a joy to watch also if Tango can see them from a window when when they are feeding he will enjoy that. In the meantime just hang from an empty onion bag yu muss have one a heng rung di place if Tango na rip it to shreds areddi Also if you having a slow evening while yu sipping yu jrink juss get a binocular and watch dem antics while dem feeding or mebbe a juss the jrink

Feeding birds is a wonderful pastime. Like Stormmey says they are fun to watch. I like the squirrels too, they gotta eat as well. You can get squirrel resistant feeders though, and even some for the squirrels.

Store your seed inside a metal container if you can. Mice have eaten through my rubbermaid ones before!
