To be honest I wasn't sure what to call this post...You see the bird feeders aren't really new and neither is the limb they are hanging on...So here's the story...
Sadly the arbor that covered this pathway fell down last winter and we had to remove it...
Which would have been OK, but my beloved bird feeders hung off of it and I SOOO ENJOY watching my birdies!!! In the winter I could see the feeders from my favorite chair as I enjoyed my morning coffee.
My husband kindly put my feeders on a ladder so that I could still enjoy the birds....
but we had a problem...
Autumn's chicks quickly discovered they could climb the ladder and help themselves to the food...
Not only were they eating all the food but they were also chasing of all the Woodpeckers...
In the spring, I go threw about a package of suet a day...This is truly AWESOME because so many of the birds...
bring their young to my feeder...
and I get to enjoy the show!!!
Anyway my solution to this problem was simple and cheap!! :)
I cut a limb off a tree that had fallen during one of our winter storms. The boys dug a hole and placed it in the ground for me. Now the birds have a perch that they are totally comfortable with and the chickens can't eat their food.
Don't worry they still scratch the ground below the feeders picking up left overs. :)
Well, thanks for stopping by!!
I will be linking up to many of the party's on my side bar...Check them out...They are full of great ideas!!
