Sunday & The bird feeder

I’m late posting today – woke up with a sinus headache that has kept me staring dully into space half the day. Improving now, so I went out to take a photo of the birdfeeder that a lot of people asked about from this post earlier in the week. This little guy wanted to get away from his lunch, so I caught this shot of him for Lauren. No chickadees where she is, I am thinking.And, here is the infamous squirrel-proof bird feeder. It took me awhile to track down the manufacturer and a good place to get one. I bought mine at the local hardware store and we have had it at least 10 years, so even with the steep price tag, it is worth every penny.
You can get one here: Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder. As I mentioned – they aren’t cheap, but I am sure it paid for itself in the first year in the seed it saved from the marauding squirrels. Those little devils will fling it out by the handful, while searching through for what they want. Larry has replaced the perch on ours a few times [looks like it could use a new one again – darned red squirrels anyway!], but other than that, you can see from the picture that it is in really good shape. I can tell you that there are similar ones that don’t work as well, simply because they aren’t as tall, and a resourceful squirrel can manage to hang from the roof and eat the seed without touching the perch, which is what makes it swing closed. They are cheaper, but they don’t work very well, so you won’t save anything in the long run. And, as always, I appreciate it when people shop through my Amazon links – I make a little do-re-mi when you do. ☺

Have a good Sunday afternoon!
