It's been a wild and crazy last 48 hours, but happily, it's all behind me now. Annie is now officially graduated [with honors!] from high school. Son and DIL went home this morning. Denny and I now have the house to ourselves tonight. And miracle of all miracles, I'm still alive! Too many things to even begin to chronicle the whole mess. Suffice it to say, I'm exhausted. If y'all don't see me around for the next few days, it's cuz I'm recuperating. Hope everyone has a great weekend [or what remains of it] and a pleasant work week ahead. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going into hibernation now!

I am looking for suggestions or ideas on how to cut down wasted feed. Please chime in!

I have tried the hanging feeders. I have 6 of them, and they just pull the feed out and cover the ground. I have the long trays, which work the best, but still waste. What kind of feeders discourage waste?

I was thinking about this ..... would this work? Put the feeders outside the fence, and they would have to reach through the 2x4 fencing to eat.

Kathy, you just gave me an idea. What if you had feed in a long tray with a piece of that 2x4 welded wire fencing folded like a teepee down the length of the tray? That way, they have to reach in through the holes on either side to eat, if you see what I mean. I've been saying for weeks that someone has to make a better feeder than the market currently offers. So much dang waste!
 
My hanging bucket feeders have such a high lip that they don't bill the feed out.

Go to homedepot and get the plastic gutter.....put fencing over it. There is no way a bird could bill feed out of it. Shoot, if mounted at the proper height, you may not even need fencing. Plus its cheap. I've been eyeing it for a while.
