Switched from a tube feeder to a tray feeder and it's chaos (in a good way)

I spent 2 years using one of those little tube feeders for finches and got maybe 3 visitors a day. Then my neighbor loaned me his old tray feeder while he was on vacation and suddenly I had 15 sparrows, a dozen starlings, and a squirrel trying to do gymnastics on it. The noise is insane but I actually get to see the birds instead of just hearing them. Has anyone else had a crazy jump in activity after switching feeder styles?

Wait, did you actually think tube feeders were better before? I was totally on team "tube is tidy" until I tried an open tray and now I get it... the chaos is kind of addictive once you see all the different birds fighting over space.

It's funny how we spend years trying to control things until we finally admit the mess is what makes it interesting.
