one day i hiked way up into the mountains with a backpack
...my lunch and a quality twenty pound bag of bird seed
of a mixed variety
and carefully selected a spot... of smooth rocks and trees...
and not a single bird to be seen or heard anywhere.

the perfect conditions........

i carefully placed it in every crevice imaginable especially in trees
and then spread the rest out in the open in a circle then i ate my lunch
and took a short nap... and hour and a half passed and nothing was seen or heard.

Then one small Bird happened by...
and rather than just eat....it flew up higher in a tree and started calling
and that brought more birds and then more birds called....

soon there was more than fifty...of many different species
and they were having a ball and i listened as each type made there dinner bell call
bringing in more of the same.

I've been doing this type of experiments for my whole life.
what about the mushroom experiments

i have discovered that birds prefer two things

(now that your done building them )

one is two entrances ...or an escape hole out the back

and two.... the bottom on the house has to be curved

not flat.... harder to make -> YES... I know...
