One of my chipmunks works diligently to clean up all the seeds the birds drop around the feeders. Between the chipmunks and the mourning doves things stay pretty clean. The woodpeckers and bluejays are the biggest culprits because they are very selective as to which seeds they want and the rest get tossed or scooped out with their beaks.
So far I haven't had any bears around this summer so until I do I can leave the feeders out. As soon as I know they are around I make sure to bring the feeders in at night. I have to get up early to put them out again because the birds and chipmunks start lining up pretty early.
