       | Can confirm this. Here in the wet part of Oregon we go through
       | about 50 pounds of bird food every 2 weeks. We have a feeder
       | outside every window and they frequently have 5-10 birds each.
       | 
       | It's great to be sitting at the desk coding and being able to
       | look out and see a handful of birds attacking the feeder.
       | 
       | - 2-3 Flickers (I've seen at least a male and a female)
       | 
       | - 3-4 Acorn Woodpeckers often we get 2 per feeder and the other
       | birds keep their distance.
       | 
       | - About 20 Stellar Jays. They stick around most of the year.
       | 
       | - Dozens of Junkos, House Finches, Chickadees, Silkens,
       | Starlings, and Red-Winged Blackbirds.
       | 
       | It's pretty crazy watching these little tiny birds get all
       | belligerent at the feeder.
