Peepaw and the Squirrels Part 1

My bride of 45 years gave me a bird feeder for Fathers Day.  I went to Lowe's to find an 'S' hook to complete hanging the feeder on a tree limb.  While perusing the bird feeder supplies, I came across a nice block of corn and seeds that came with a bungee cord hanger line.  Aha, something to keep the squirrels away from the feeder.  So I bought it and a larger hanger.  The fuzzy tail tree rats enjoyed it.  The white wing doves, a.k.a.white wing tree rats, make a bigger mess around the feeder and the squirrels ignored the feeder even when their chew toy was gone.


Breakfast time.

 You've had enough,   My turn!

Hmmm not much left.  Hope he puts out more.


Greedy little buggers cleaned house.


Thus ends the corn block on the bungee episode.  It lasted maybe four days.  I went back to buy a replacement and they were out.  Started thinking that I had made it too easy for them to get to the corn block.  There was a big bag of corn on the cob for the same price as a new block.  Bought it and started a new feeding scheme which will be covered in the next episode.
