The Bird Feeder outside my window

I have a bunch of bird feeders outside my window. I enjoy seeing all the various species that visit throughout the year. We experienced a snow storm today and the birds have been busy eating the seed.
Apparently, seed-eating birds are not the only one's who are hungry on this wintry day.
I just happened to look out the window and found this fellow feeding.

I like this idea, might have to rig up something similar. Would be especially nice if I could keep starlings from visiting, they're quite an aggravating bunch.

my mom keeps seed out year round for birds, squirrels, 'munks etc. the hawks come in every now & then & hammer a slow dove or pigeon. "mom, they ALL gotta eat..." she gets REALLY bent, though.

i've fed birds for a decade or so.
This summer, a small parrot showed up @ the feeders. My gf captured it, and it's a super-cool pet!
Super friendly, very loving, and real talkative.
