Mike and Linda, when Grandma saw someone overeating, she often said they must have a "tape-worm." I have used that expression many times when talking to these little bandits. They are champion free-loaders and they think my only mission in life is to be sure they get enough to eat. Still, they must retain the ability to forage for themselves. I do not ask neighbors to feed them when I travel!
You seem to have the balance thing worked out pretty well. Just because they want to eat all the time doesn't mean they should. You have them dialed in and the cute little bugger(s) will just have to put up with the occasional photo-op. Seems like a fair trade to me.
