They can squeeze 15 or 16 birds on each sock at a time, plus several dozen on the ground cleaning up. I can get within about 6 feet of my Siskins, but so far not close enough to touch them. I'll have to work on that. :)emarkdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14233675804807715629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001026973715727252.post-34290788972057598442009-02-05T12:43:00.000-05:002009-02-05T12:43:00.000-05:00So funny!!
