Urgent - RSPB Feeders - The Worst Thing Imaginable
I ran out of bird food and there were only a few morsels left in the feeders. I was away for a couple of days so couldn't do anything about it. When I returned, something terrible happened.
One of the RSPB Challenger II seed feeders was taken down. Apparently, a Greenfinch had been feeding. Trying to get a bit of seed left in the feeder, it's head got stuck. It couldn't get out. And it died.
My dad tried to get it out, but its head never did. It was stuck so badly that only the body came out.
How on earth did this happen??? I am going to contact the RSPB about the design of their feeders. How could it be possible for a bird to get stuck INSIDE the feeder, and die?????
