I just got home and I see that on the second day of my first bird feeder, it really has become popular- the seed is almost gone. The problem is they made so much of a mess that I'm afraid my downstairs neighbor is going to complain about all of the sunflower shells and spilled seed on his patio. There really is no other place to hang it and I really don't want to be rude. Is there a way to reduce the mess? Are platform feeders cleaner? Is there an easy way to attach some sort of basin under the feeder? Would it scare the birds away? I just can't see a way around this other than just sweeping up my neighbor's porch every night.....
