[quote:Anonymous Coward 78687938:MV80NzE2MDc0Xzg1ODczMDE4XzMyODk4OEEx] [quote:Anonymous Coward 78687938:MV80NzE2MDc0Xzg1ODcyOTQyXzE4NDZDOTEw] The birds around here empty every bird feeder I fill every day. They quickly went through 2 large sacks and I ran out this last weekend. The last 2 days they've been screaming at me in the backyard to refill them, but it's too damn cold to go anywhere to get more. I'll do it tomorrow though. I promise. [/quote] BTW, I wanted to add this cold is also affecting all the deer around here. I'm located on an off-grid survivalist's dream property here in Minnesota. It's covered with many dozens of apple and other fruit trees and hundreds of fruit shrubs, not to mention the hundreds of hardwood trees. The deer have made a huge mess of my backyard digging for apples under the snow. And they are all very young deer too. All the adults disappeared during the recent hunting season which must have ended now because the young deer are coming out of hiding now. But what a mess. Deer tracks all over the place. They don't even act all scared when they notice me noticing them any more. And I just moved here 4 months ago. Fortunately, all these cold days have been sunny, and that has helped a lot. [/quote]

I'm so sad from seeing all the dead birds :(
Let's use our heads and our kindness and help those outdoor animals - place your ideas here!
I've kept my suet feeders full of peanut butter suet and the seed holders are all full.
I have also put out a couple of plastic bins on their sides facing the house and put old blankets in them. Wish I had straw - that would have been much better than blankets, but so far, no stray cats or dogs or possum or whatever have used them.
You could also use one of those bins with the lid and cut a hole in it to make a makeshift kennel.
All HELPFUL suggestions welcome :)
