I hope you don't have trouble like I had with a family of them about 15 years years ago.
My late wife like to watch the birds so she fed them, we kept the seed on the deck in two 100# grease can with snap on lids, the little bastards figured out how to get the lid off one of the cans so I set a half of a concrete block on the led , yeah right, next was a whole block that worked for about two days next came three blocks stacked like an inverted pyramid, that worked either scared them or injured one or two of them, but in the mean time they consumed close to 30# of seed.
I don't feed wild animals, 90% of the time it will cause a problems and its not good for the animals, they get dependent on the EASY feed and stop foraging and some will get aggressive.

Sounds like you got off easy. I had them in my attic. Fortunately there was little damage other than where they got in. Look on line at some of the problems people have had with them chewing wires, plastic ducts and pipe. Wild animals are great as long as they stay wild and a fair distance away.
