Matter of fact we have cardinals and finches that eat the fire out of their dry cat food in my woodpile shed. Started feeding them in the evenings. We got songbirds out the ass, people I have on speaker phone while I’m outside mention the background ‘noise’.

Could just be our farm cats are just lazy.

Or to well fed. We have three that moved to the back deck from the barn so we had them fixed. Even though we feed them if it moves they kill it. I refer to them as the perimeter defense system.
