Hi Diana, My husband and I visit SCA every couple of weeks and always bring bird seed and suet in case the feeders are empty but they are never completely empty, We are always excited to see the birds there and seeing a flock of tree sparrows a couple of weeks ago was a real thrill! I can't believe someone would ask you to take the feeders down. That is absurd!! We support you 100 percent and will take any action necessary to have the feeders stay. Birds appreciate these feeders to help them through the winter, The note you received was ill-advised and makes no sense, we are with you!!!
