Install a little brush that rubs up against their necks and sprinkles them with Frontline. Buy more seed. And consider it community service! What to do about the deer?

I do it every day. I have a feeding station on my side deck with three big feeders full of only black oil sunflower seed. You will get the most variety of birds with that particular type of seed. Don't get the seed that everyone else gets with all the filler seed in it. It just goes to waste. I also have cracked corn I put out as well. This past winter I added a suet feeder hanging from a tree. I'm always getting a good variety of woodpeckers at that feeder. I'm having trouble with deer now. They walk right up on the deck and eat the seed out of the feeders late at night. I'm not sure what to do about that. I may invest in a solar powered motion detector light to hopefully scare them off. Isn’t bird watching fun? I do it every day.
