| Would it make any difference if the apple is quartered or should it be whole? |

| i don't know i still have part of a bucket of apples left and have been throwing them out in the yard a few at a time whole and the magpies and jays or the deer get most of them but the robin came every hour or so and got a fill before the others got them all. this one never got up on the platform or the hopper one with a tray under it. other years some robins or bluebirds would try the feeders and i would put raisens or cramberrys or fuit in pieces for birds and the grosbeaks tried them too |

| Well, I ate some of the apple, but threw the core out by the bird feeders. :) I'll see if it's there in the morning. Of course, who knows what night critters might like apples too. Also my schnauzer enjoyed a little bit of it as well. |
