I was explaining to a coworker today why I stop feeding the birds in our yard during the late spring into the fall.
You keep feeding the birds and they will focus on your offerings more than what they should normally be eating.

Our birds do a nice job with weeds and bugs, and it helps when you don't want to use conventional bug sprays.

With the variety of birds that visit our yard/neighborhood, most insects take their life into their hands if they cross our "no-fly" zones.

Now if I could only keep the squirrels out of our yard, I'd be content....
