Oh yes, the "tufted ear pain-in-the-butt" I have a couple around here that will pull ALL the seed out of a feeder so they can eat off the ground.

And that's a "squirrel proof" feeder he's eating out of. lol. Not to mention all the seed that is on the ground because birds can be a tad wasteful. I put an ear of corn out for him and it was gone in 3 hours. I need to pick some more corn up tomorrow to keep him out of my bird feeders.

It's amazing how they figure out how to get to the feeders! Even squirrel proof ones!

Honesty if I could figure out how to box half of the ones I have and ship them to you I would!!

He is cute though, isn't he? Cheeky little thing though. I've only been putting corn out for them for about 3 months. Up until then, they had no idea how to get to the bird seed. Now, it's like "My cob is empty so I'm going to get that seed no matter what! Take that human!". I love it! I need to see if we have more wood and have my hubby make another one so I can put two cobs out. It's amazing how fast those guys can go through an ear of corn. But they are wasteful too. They pull the kernel off the cob, turn it around so that the tip is facing them, then eat up to the middle of the kernel leaving a ring looking thing. They won't eat the whole kernels. Kind of like a child eating the center of a sandwich. They are so funny!
