Thankful Sunday--July 5, 2015



I am thankful for the bird feeder baffle.

We spent a long time trying to outsmart the squirrels from getting into the bird feeder with no success. Finally, this baffle seemed to do the trick. Oh, occasionally they get past it, but mostly they are baffled. :) Now the poor squirrels have to eat the abundant acorns, walnuts, and berries in the yard, as well as the dropped seeds below the feeder. But I guess to the squirrel, the seeds are always tastier when they come from the feeder. :)

  1. Our baffle and birdfeeder were both left at our house by the previous owner. The baffle is getting rusty and probably should be replaced, but it still does the job.

    1. Our seed feeder is starting to rust a little, so sometime I plan to take it down and paint it. We'll see when I manage to work "sometime" into the schedule.

  2. We had to give up our bird feeder which makes me very sad, but our next door neighbors cat thought our feeder was handy bait.

    1. That would make me sad also. We have a couple of cats that roam the neighborhood, but they seem to leave our birds alone. However, most every house has a couple of bird feeders, so maybe they have their fun somewhere else.
