I had never seen this little bird, until we got a bird feeder for our front porch. It's an Indigo Bunting, smaller than a canary, and beautiful. It's not the kind you would notice in a tree, but they visit our feeder, to our delight, as do many species of birds I had never seen before. It's fun to see which birds are sociable and which birds are not, and to study avian hierarchy.
The first bird feeder we tried killed a bird! It had holes the birds could stick their heads into to get at the food, but I came out one morning to see a dead bird hanging from a hole. The poor thing stuck its head in but couldn't get it out, and died a terrible death.
Then we got THIS ONE which has never disappointed us, or the birds. It's squirrel proof; an adult squirrel's weight will shut the feeder; and it's easy to fill. We've had ours a long time.
