I wish I could figure out something analogous for the dry cat food I leave for the golf course cats. Since the cats do not eat it all at once (dogs eat until they puke, cats eat only what they need), the damn birds steal the rest. One of my happiest moments was one evening when I saw a cat getting a bird.
