I have a dozen or so on my 3 acres. They are incredibly stupid. Sometimes I almost have to run them over to get out of my driveway. I love to eat them, but i have a problem shooting them because my wife considers them her "Chickens". They get a little thinned out some years, but they always seem to come back. I put out a little Corn or Sunflower seeds when we get a lot of snow. They get some of it, but so do the crows and Blue Jays.
VernAK is correct. They like to hang out around Aspen or Poplar trees. Also put a few Raspberry or Chokecherry bushes in full sun. They like those also.
