Yeah, we know. But you don't have nearby neighbors who might not want
to attract all those critters. I see plenty of wildlife in and around
my yard. They don't need my help finding food except in the winter.
Fresh water is *always* important. Not even the hummingbirds need my
help. I just saw one sipping from a pretty flowering plant:

I don't know what this plant is. Two of them just showed up, started
growing and blooming on each side of the patio back in 2008.

When I saw the hummingbird the feeder was 3 feet away, yet she sipped
from the flowers instead. I feed them because I love watching them, not
because they need my help finding food. Hummingbirds also eat flying
insects.

I definitely do not throw food scraps out into the yard. That's kind of
a trailer trash idea.
