The bird feeders were moved because started getting mice, I saw them hate them and didnt want them indoors ! From kitchen glass doors can still see the birds on the feeders. But a problem I hadnt thought of with the sudden much colder weather that part of garden staying frosty longer and bird feeders frosty too . The boules de graines are frozen over night so having to put fresh every morning , also they eating the tournesol seeds but not the bird grain in another feeder that seems to stay cold . I am washing the outsides of feeders with plain warm water in mornings . The birds seem to be suddenly eating less than before it got so cold which is not normal .Didnt have frost last january. Any ideas ?</blockquote>
