I have been curious lately as to why the bird seeds in our bird feeder have been going down so quickly. I found the answer this morning.
You see that little blob of brown sitting on the bird feeder roost? That’s the answer. A cute little chipmunk who also happens to be a little seed thief. The roost on the feeder is weight sensitive so as to prevent squirrels from getting at the bird seed. But little Chippie doesn’t weigh quite enough to cause the feeder holes to get blocked.
I’m going to have to try to adjust it somehow. I much prefer to see birds there. Like yesterday, MY Jane and I were delighted to see a male cardinal, resplendent in his red plumage, at our feeder. And the other day, two gold finches were feeding.
