Monday (5th) Jacob agreed to let me get a few different bird feeders and a squirrel bungee feeder. This is something that I've been wanting to do since we moved in here since we've had all sorts of critters frequenting our forest that we've noticed since we moved in! (Can you believe it's almost been a year since we moved in here?)
Anyway, Jacob put the feeders up for me and the same day a few squirrels discovered their feeder. A day or two later we had another 2 squirrels, then the next day we had probably half a dozen. Yikes! These not so little critters were going nuts over all the food...they kept coming back and back...and now all the food is completely gone off the bungee feeder. There is a bit left on the ground that they are cleaning up quickly. They've even been trying to get into the wild bird feeder that's hanging from a hook off a pole that also holds another two feeders (a bird house feeder at the top of the post and a hummingbird feeder off another hook). There was one squirrel in particular that kept climbing the little branches on the surrounding bushes trying to get into the hanging bird feeder, however the branches aren't quite strong enough to support it's weight and he'd fall off. Pretty funny to watch!
Looks like the little birds have finally discovered the wild bird feeder, though they haven't discovered the little finch feeder yet. Bummer though cause that one is just outside the sliding glass window hanging out with the wind chimes.
I'm really glad that we got the feeders! I really enjoy watching the little animals scamper and flit their way around the forest out back! Almost feels like we're living in the mountains! This place is really awesome!
