OH my those look FUN!!!! Temping to get some of those, but too many houses going up around us. Have not moved but don't live in the country anymore.

The crackles reminds me of a story. I was in High School, we had a shelf type bird feeder with sunflower seeds for the Cardinals. No kidding, if the feeder was empty, one of the cardinals would sit on the gutter carrying on. My dad would open the window, shake the can, that bird would hop down onto the feeder as my dad put more seed onto it.

As the crackles do, they started chasing away the cardinals. I had some small fire crackers. Wired one up on the end of an extension cord. Put it in the feeder, ran the plug into the window, told my mom, "when the crackles come, sneak down below the window so they don't see you, plug this into the outlet"

HA she was sure mad when I got home from school the next day!! She said all she saw was feathers after she was able to compose herself after the BIG BANGBut we all got a good laugh from it. Only took 3-4 more days to keep them away.

Ah fun times!!!
