When the doves would come to our bird feeder, they would sling food out of the tray and onto the ground like crazy. We were having to fill the feeder every day. Be learned that birds like "tray" feeders also, so she bought one that could be both a feeder and a bird bath. You can see the one she bought in the back of this photo. We started using it for a bath, but it gave me an idea.
So one Saturday, I got out my saw and some cedar that I had saved (for probably 30 years), and constructed a tray that could hang under our feeder. Now much of the sprayed food lands in the tray, and we do not have to fill the feeder nearly as much. We are really enjoying watching the birds feed outside our window.
