Does anyone else find themselves constantly fussing with and trying to improve the feeder? Here is my oddball setup. It's the only good place where we can see it well inside other than putting it on the back deck and inside the cat enclosure , which I would never do.
The birds love it in the bushes of course but so do squirrels. The cone and moving the suet to the top on that boom are recent changes. But the other boom holding the nyjer feeder broke today so tomorrow I need to get it all down to fix that.
Notice that the green feeder, a squirrel proof one where the lid levers down if a squirrel gets on, has a mangled halo to reduce house sparrow infestation. The halo keeps the house sparrows reduced but the squirrel has figured out how to hang from the halo to get at the seed. If not one thing or another.
So tomorrow is mess with the feeder day again... I wonder what others changes I'll make....
I have no idea how to stop the attached photo from going horizontal. Strange...
