For the Birds

[kevin_standlee]

As those of you who follow me know, we set out food for the birds in the area. Lisa has been concerned that the pigeons have been bullying the smaller birds away from the seed we set out on the ground, and decided to build a new feeder that the small birds can access but that the large ones cannot easily dominate.

The squirrels in my area have gotten into every bird feeder we tried. Until I wired the bird feeder to an electric fence charger. That keeps them off, except during power outages, or when we forget to reconnect the wire after refilling it.

No squirrels here, so the only question is whether the chipmunks decide to give it a try. I'm not too worried about it. I've never minded the chipmunks eating the seed we leave out on ground level.
