I have four dumplings container, fit the 4 per dumpling. The birds pounce like vultures on the dumplings, so they seem to taste. Not later than early afternoon all dumplings are wiped away and with loud shouting and jumping around on the patio is required to supply. Even starlings and pigeons perching among the containers and wait for falling crumbs. My dog they taste well, he always gets when filling the tank the small remnants.
