I got my latest batch of fat balls from a different supplier and they are lasting really well as the birds don't seem to like them as much as the ones I usually get.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-71498383370848599712012-12-16T17:26:54.676+00:002012-12-16T17:26:54.676+00:00Thank you Roy.

They are beautiful.<br />Now what she really wants is a peanut feeder buried in the ground with twenty or thirty little holes full of goodies. Peanut butter and worms mixed?<br /> <br />I have up to five here but only one female. They ate me out of peanuts...twice! They like the fat balls I have and can easily get through six a day.<br />I am leaving tomorrow so the farmers son who is ten and had never seen a Woodpecker has a tub of sixty fat balls for them.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-47810409189544152452012-12-16T13:01:56.112+00:002012-12-16T13:01:56.112+00:00That's a nice sequence John.
