Come attirare gli uccelli

The squirrel-proofing advice alone is worth the price — I built one of the feeders from the plans and the little rascals haven't touched it since. Patteson clearly knows her birds, and the section on feeder placement got me cardinals within a week.

I've had so many feeders destroyed by raccoons over the years, but Patterson's squirrel-proofing plans are actually practical and don't require fancy tools. The chapter on feeder placement has already doubled the variety of birds stopping by my yard.

The squirrel-proofing section alone is worth the price—I’ve tried three other birdhouse books and none addressed that so practically. My finch feeder finally stays stocked, and the step-by-step plans are clear enough for a total beginner like me.
