We put up a bird feeder on the deck a few weeks ago. I think I mentioned it and was so excited about all the different birds coming to feed. That was then. This is now.
We have moved the bird feeder many times. Each time we move it, we think we have moved it beyond the reach of the three squirrels who feel it is their personal granary. So annoying. We want to feed the birds. Well, as Alissa says, "The squirrels need to eat, too." Yes, they do. HOWEVER!! The birds don't seem to get a chance at the seeds nor the suet with seeds inside. I think the bird feeder is so cute. It has a spot for suet bricks at each end and plenty of room for seeds inside, easily gotten to by removing the roof.
As you can see, even though we moved the feeder far away from the chairs, the railings, and the big garden bins, the squirrels have figured out how to ascend the food house and fill their bellies. We have not seen them do it, but there they are!
SO...ONE MORE TIME. We moved the feeder on its shepherds crook into the front yard to a position outside our dining room window. This morning, for the first time in the three days since we moved it, while we were eating breakfast, we saw one lonely bird having a gay old time eating to his heart's content. Dear One said he hoped the bird would pass the word along. II hope so, too! I am looking forward to breakfast tomorrow!
