Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder
A lot happened on my very first Mother’s Day. My daughter was Dedicated at church. We had a huge party with dear family and friends. We had portraits done. It was a Mother’s Day I will never forget. The only thing that was missing is that my then-husband forgot to buy me a gift. I was OK with that, but later on I stopped and bought myself a bird feeder I’d had my eye on for a long time.
We had a lot of birds in our backyard in Gainesville, and nearly as many squirrels. I bought one of those weighted birdfeeders that tipped with a squirrel sat on it, but kept the bird food safe from spilling. The feeder kept the squirrels out of the food and provided all of our gorgeous wild birds with enough tasty food to keep them coming back over and over.
When I moved out after my divorce, I somehow forgot to take that feeder with me and I when I recently asked for my ex to being it to me, he informed me that it has “disappeared”. So, I’ve been using a sort of makeshift feeder in my current backyard. It involved a hanging plant, a shepherd’s hook, and a bit of complicated rigging. Unfortunately, it’s not keeping out the squirrels.
I’ve been hunting about on Birdfeeders.com for a replacement bird feeder. I’m thinking that this time I am going to go for bigger and better – even though my old bird feeder kinda’ rocked. This Birdscapes® Squirrel-Be-Gone II™ Feeder is a lot like the one I used to have, but it is a whole lot more decorative and hold more seed. It’s squirrel-proof, adjustable, and looks pretty. It’s pretty much exactly what I had in mind.
So, the only question now is whether or not I should wait until Mother’s Day to buy it for myself. I’m tempted to just go ahead and treat myself to it now, since my birthday is in about a week.
That looks like a great gift. My mom recently moved to new brunswick and this would be the perfect gift for her. I tried looking it up on amazon but couldn’t find it, could you please post a link to where i can get it online ?
