I get black birds and chickadees in my backyard that must say when they see me -- all hail, the food giver, she's putting out more seeds and water for us!

The birds and squirrels have the habit and I'm spending  easily $10+ a week on seed and peanuts for these guys !

Bacon...I was surprised that the cats, who aren't much interested in people food....like bacon!  

It's kind of a universal treat?

I have dumb squirrels. They haven't figured out how to get into the peanut feeder by either climbing the pole or figuring how to jump from the branches of my magnolia onto it. They come into my yard, take a big swig of water and leave via my McCartney rose and go over the 6' fence.

My stalker lives under my cherry tree and scurries around the patio.

It took a while but after a few days, he and I became good friends.

He's back this spring!

When I go outdoors in my yard. I have numerous stalkers...I call all of them "Lizzie".  They're everywhere I go.

@Lila Belle,    Stalkers (not)   it's more like ... Fans .... or .... Entourage ...

entourage (ontuˈraːʒ) noun

a group of followers, especially of a person of high rank

Bey has a "hive", however you have the World!

Only by two pups! I have bookends when I eat breakfast. They know there will be a bit of bacon for each of them before I'm finished. As for the rest of the meals? They know better and keep their distance. But bacon? Can't resist-

I LOVE pups and all doggies!!!

I bet all of you ladies committed that one major, forbidden transgression...you spoke to strangers!  You know you shouldn't do that.

Yes ! A roadrunner comes to my kitchen window and I'm not sure if he's watching me or the tv, but he waits there until I give him some hamburger 😊

It started innocently enough when I started to eat  my lunch outside a month ago  and shared my PB&J with a squirrel and then a few peanuts. Didn't take long for a few Thrashers, Cardinals, Blue Jays and a Cat Bird to figure out that I'm a easy mark.

Now I have a few more squirrels and all of these birds hanging out on or near our deck, sitting on the window sills looking for me or waiting for me to come outside. Some even have a certain time they visit each day. I had to laugh when a mama thrasher pushed her baby toward the back door when I went to empty the garbage into the toter this morning.

Is anyone else being stalked?

Congratulations. You're a descendant of Snow White, which means all the little woodland creatures are attracted to the food they know you carry you.
