Bird Feeders

lucky asked:


I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it
with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food. But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue. Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table… everywhere. Then some of the birds turned mean: They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And others birds were boisterous and loud: They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded
that I fill it when it got low on food. After a while, I couldn’t even sit on my own back porch anymore.I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio. Soon, the back yard was like it used to be…quiet, serene
and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.

Now lets see…our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, free education and allows anyone born here to be a automatic citizen. Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small
apartments are housing 5 families: you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor: your child’s 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn’t speak English: Corn
Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to press “one” to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than “Old Glory” are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights
and free liberties. Maybe it’s time for the government to take down the bird feeder.

What do you think?

Over the past couple years, I’ve got my parents squirrel proof bird feeders.

One birdfeeder, the one built for the small birds to fly into the steel grate, the squirrels are able to reach into the bird feeder and use their claws to flick out bird seed. It’s not easy for the squirrel, because they have to hang on while using just one claw to pick at the seeds.

The milk jug theory doesn’t seem to work; they just plow past them.

I will also be accepting pictures of your ideas. Send photos to holykrapbatman@inbox.com and include your Yahoo Answers ID, so I can match it up to your post in here.

Best answer with or without photos will get 10 points as the answers will be tried out either this week or next week. I may extend the period of time for further experimentation.

Please help the little birds keep their birdseed, and let’s shut down the free trade of seed to the these militant squirrels.

Thanks in advance for your help and expertise.
