23. This is one of the reasons I haven't put out a feeder

I already have lots of squirrels, and I believe a bird feeder would attract even more of them. There are lots of big old oak trees in my neighborhood, but not in my yard. So the squirrels go elsewhere for nuts and that's fine with me. If I put out a feeder out, it would encourage the squirrels to stick around, I think.
