Yup, it's a little bit 'hit or miss' with the birds though. Year before last the weevils decimated all my hibiscus, plumbago and roses before I was able to slow them down. The mockingbirds now come around more often since I changed the fare in my birdfeeders, and put out a water supply. Now I put out some mealworms in one feeder in the spring, and gradually taper off the supply going into the summer so the mockingbirds aren't too fat to look for weevils on the shrubs. They won't come for just regular seeds.
