We put it in the trough section of Mr. Snout, the feeder my husband built.
The birds want nothing to do with it. Perhaps due to the cranberry mix in it.
However,
The deer seem quite taken with it. |
Here's a closer look. |
It's a tough year out there what with all the snow. It's warmed a bit and that's going to make it even worse once it freezes again.
I do not begrudge the deer the food. I am not going to deliberately feed them, but they are welcome to it.
Even if I chased them away they'd just come back.

As someone who sticks my snout into yummy food wherever I can find it, I can relate! Nice of you not to chase the poor deer off.
Crabby, it's a tough winter. I can't turn 'em away.
Oh deer! And here's me luring them ever closer. They're such wonderful critters. I'm quite enjoying them. Thanks for nurturing yours.
They are, and I love them, Hilary. They seem quite at home in our yard.
Deer are beautiful (and bigger than you think, when you get close to them!). It's nice that you let them enjoy what the birds don't want.
Yes, they are deceptive of size, Messymimi.
Our thoughts too, Leah. Its for the birds but we don't begrudge their neighbors stopping by.
"Clean up on aisle three!" Deer are good for that job!
