That's strange. I had them in my backyard growing up and wasn't near any of those.

You grew up in Monsey?

Cool, didn't know. But the park explains it, the tennis and baseball fields will attract them.

This Suet cage feeder is now $1.98 on Amazon.
I’m in shape, round is a shape…

Normally takes days or a week until birds discover a new feeder.

I put up a feeder once on a tree next to my porch which attracted many birds and was quite a scene, but the birds made a mess with the seed shells raining it down on my neighbors backyard. Is there any method or seed that doesn't have this problem?

Put it somewhere you can see it.
