Bird feeders are much appreciated by our feathered friends during the cold winter months. One chilly morning, Mrs. Allison and four neighbors each filled her feeder with a different kind of food and watched a different type of bird come for a bite.

From the information given, determine the number on each woman's house, the type of food she put out, and which bird she saw.

1. Cake crumbs were put out by Mrs. Brewer's next-door neighbor, while Mrs. Chandler put out toast.
   
   
2. Mrs. Emery, who did not see a sparrow, lives at number 8. Mrs. Dennis is not at number 10.
   
   
3. Mrs. Allison was visited by a thrush, while a robin enjoyed a taste of suet.
   
   
4. Birdseed was put out at the house located between the one where a cardinal ate and the one visited by a sparrow.
   
   
5. The blackbird visited the bird feeder at number 2, which was not filled with bread.

    Mrs Allison lives in house 6 put out birdseed and saw the thrush.  Mrs Emery lives in house 8 put out suet and saw the robin.  Mrs Brewer lives in house 4 put out bread and saw the sparrow.  Mrs Chandler lives in house 10 put out toast and saw the cardinal.  Mrs Dennis lives in house 2 put out cake crumbs and saw the blackbird.
