| Well they are messy. I feed mine nyjer seeds. I haven't seen them harm the grass but they do start accumulating on the ground which can be unattractive. And then they start attracting creatures. Not only that, they can grow. There are options though. There are saucers that can be hung below the feeder to catch these stuff. |

| Hi Mr. Toad, I love to use them in my compost pile- they make nice mulch after a short period. Renee |
