LPF week 19 writeoff
Apr. 12th, 2019 01:54 pmThe bird feeder is on fire again.
We used to have a serious problem with squirrels stealing food out of the feeder and scaring off the birds. We tried hanging it in a bunch of different places, and then tried attaching weird things to make it hard for the squirrels to climb it or hang on to it, but apparently the neighborhood squirrels are ninja acrobats or something. Eventually, we decided to try one of those ultra-high frequency devices.
They chewed through the wires.
The only thing left we could think of was to fill the feeder with food the squirrels won't want. It means we're attracting rather different birds than we'd originally hoped for, but we were out of ideas. And it's not all bad.
Phoenixes do have lovely plumage.
