Back to the Drawing Board


I happened to notice today that my brand new feeder was knocked down on the ground and cracked as well as chew marks around the feeding holes???? I have no idea how this was done but I have a pretty good one as to what kind of critter did it.
I have a nice peanut dispenser for them but for some reason they'd rather tear up the other feeders.
They 're going to come around anyway and steal the bird food so I figure if I feed them maybe they won't bother the bird food. It has worked pretty well before but now it isn't. So tomorrow I guess I'll study the situation and see what to do. I don't want to have too much commotion around the birds because I don't want to upset them. Like I said --back to the drawing board.
God bless you, Diane

  1. Well I'm sure you'll figure out something, Diane.. Is it happening at nights??? I bring most of my feeders inside at nights --and only leave the ones that hang over our sliding doors. So far, nothing has gotten into any of our feeders. BUT---if I happen to leave things out at nights, something definitely gets into the bird food (probably a raccoon or opossum)..

    Sorry about your new feeder.
    Hugs,

  3. Those pesky little squirrels....hmm, maybe they need their feeder filled with birdseed instead of peanuts. Hope you fixed the problem Diane.
    Have a great Sunday...
