Try this: I like to hang one feeder high, so I got on a step-ladder and trimmed a branch of my Silver Birch for the purpose. I delicately hang the feeder on the branch by raising it, via a hook inserted into the top of an extendable 12-foot pole (the kind you buy for washing windows), while standing on a garden chair, and get the feeder about 18 feet off the ground. If you get a feeder that high, it would be interesting to see her try and get it down again. The problem with the second proposal is that if it´s difficult to remove, it´ll be difficult to refill. Any idea, anyone, that might help Deborah out here? If we can all put our minds to this and come up with sketches even, Deborah might carry the day and the Harpy might give up and find someone else to annoy....</blockquote>
