Still am, actually. As a teenager, I spent a lot of my spare time in caves. I married when I was 20 so didn't have the time to spend like I used to, but I didn't mind. Tennessee has the most caves of all the States in the U.S. with well over 2,000 KNOWN caves. Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia combined, make up the largest cave infested area in the world. There are 20 or 30 caves in the city of Nashville alone, including Demonbreun's Cave, where the first white child in Middle Tennessee was born, and a cave discovered in the basement of one of our office buildings when they were building it about 20 or 30 years ago. In THIS cave, they discovered the mummified remains of a Smilodon, or Saber-Toothed Tiger! I have been with a party that has discovered and at least partially explored 1 or 2 caves, myself. One of those was incredibly impressive......if you like to swim in ice water. Kingdoms RAGE and go to war...but the PEasants plant potatoes.. EARTH FIRST! (we'll strip-mine the OTHER planets later.)

All I have coming to that feeder is house finches, all be it a lot of them, and the occasional sparrow. The cardinals came for a few days but would sit on 1 perch & try unsuccessfully to get at the seed at the port by that perch. --IF they had of gone to the other side of the feeder, they could have sat on the bottom perch & ate off of the top port--and done it quite easily--silly birds--- so I guess when the safflower seed is gone, I will go back to the thistle and just put up with the annoying birds. ________ Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!! .....

A sheet of scrap plywood you can fasten horizontally to something? That's all it takes for a platform feeder. You can even use the ground. Birds don't care what it looks like or how well it's made. My first platform feeder was a piece of scrap plywood I nailed on top of the doghouse. It worked like a charm.
