Does anybody here like the wild birds such that you feed them daily?

My dad helped me build a big bird feeder when I was a kid back around 1962, and now that I’m retired early and live in the woods, I built a couple of replicas of the one he and I built. They hold about 8 pounds of wild bird seed each, and we hang tube feeders down both sides since we have them mounted on wooden posts, and it’s so wonderful to watch all the Cardinals and Blue Buntings and other blue birds and sparrows and finches, etc., that come around plentifully each day and bring such beauty to the woods wherein my wife and I live. I was just wondering if anybody else here ever enjoyed feeding the wild birds and watching them come around to “dine”. They’re sure getting spoiled to the “recipe” of seeds we put together for the purpose of attracting the Cardinals and all the smaller birds too, and the Mourning Doves too. How about your experiences feeding wild birds. Do you enjoy it too?

I love feeding wild birds! Recently, two wild ducks came to our swimming pool, and we fed them some bread. We love to watch the morning doves build nests outside, and raise their chicks. We have a bird bath that wild birds bathe in, too! And there was a squirrel who lived near this house since before my family did, and she became very tame and used to come to our window begging for peanuts, we would feed her too, but she’s gone now . I know she wasn’t a bird, but she was adorable! There are mud nests from the mudnesters, or whatever thier called on eac side of our house. It just makes my day to walk outside and see the chicks poking thier heads out, calling for thier mama, who comes ’round giving the chicks a worm or something.
Here’s another bird story: a few years back, there was an egg in our backyard, no where near a tree, or a nest, it was just sitting there. I was a little kid, so I begged my mom to put it in our chicken incubator. Believe it or not, it hatched, and it was a morning dove, who lived with us for awhile and got really tame, until one day she got outside, and either decided to live there or got eaten by a cat
I love wild birds and domesticated birds of all time, and I think feeding them is very nice!
