What do you feed the birds?

[nanasohana]

You know, for some time I bought seed and put it out for the birds in a feeder, and the birds would have it empty in a day or two. I just felt that was too much to keep up. We have an Ohia tree by our lanai and I enjoy seeing the little green birds come forage on its seeds and the other birds seem to find wild grass seeds around us or they find insects etc. in the cinder areas, lawn areas. I like it better that way.
