Description

it will encourage someone to build a better mouse. In this case, our long-serving 'squirrel-proof bird feeder' has finally been foiled by a better squirrel. Mind you, the bird-proof squirrel feeder has still not attracted a better bird. Yes, it's raining and if you look closely, you will see that he has figured out how to hang upsidedown by holding onto the body of the plastic feeder. If he were hanging onto the wire mesh, his weight would cause the entire wire structure to 'sink' down and block off the feed holes. Brids are too light to cause this to happen ... except for the very largest birds or the bird herd of all at the same time. Enjoy, thanks for viewing.
