Might be an idea to leave the discussion this point here, the thread after all is about this months photo theme challenge 'Feeder Antics' not the rights and wrongs of using feeders.

Perhaps a new thread started elsewhere in the forums on this subject would more appropriate.

It encourages birds to rely on humans for food just for our amusement and pleasure (a little like banding/ringing).

Yes, I know. Some people haven't read the rules correctly - a feeder must be visible, not just a bird seen feeding.

Photos are left in place until the closing date and then those that don't qualify are weeded out and moed to thier appropriate forums. This will happen after 21st April, unless I am contacted by the entrant before this time.

Am I one of those?
I positioned a few bits of wood & built a makeshift "feeder", put a banana & boiled rice on them to attract the birds & did this for over a month - got over 100 birds (I think) at one time once - does this consitute a feeder even though it wasn't "factory" made or with glue & nails?

After all some of the monthly subjects may not be as easy for some people to get as others, but remember this is a World wide site and the Mods try their best to fit in all the categories which should fit in with the majority of the people.

Looking through the entries I see that we have entires from Europe, Americas (North & South), Asia and yes Australia!

No one is forced to enter any of the competitions after all the majority of them are just "for fun" with no prize.
