Birds! None are the same, it seems. I feed them outside away from the barn and plug up the entryways to keep them out of where I don't want birds pooping. It's easy enough to do.
I figure that sharing our piece of the world with critters is a large part of country living. It's how I was raised. Thinking that way defines rural vs city people for me.
Some critters I run off, for some I put up houses on the side of the barn that appeals to them.
Note that's on the OUTSIDE of the barn; the inside of buildings is (mostly) mine. I do get to make the rules, even though enforcing them is sometimes a failure.
One flycatcher has been nesting in the outside summer workshop since I built it.
Never the same place twice, and often has a brood fledged and out before I discover her new nest. She must be 20 by now - still deeply suspicious of me - and still very wild and shy.
It's always amazing to me how much variation there is in the personality of individual animals. One is shy while others work hard at being engaging. Most hummingbirds couldn't care less about people, but for years one would come in to watch me work, and often slept next to the door.
