Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I've never seen or heard of a bear in this neighborhood. I haven't seen any squirrels here either, which is probably due to the feral cat population, but the TNR program has been successful and it seems we only have two ferals left. So squirrels may appear this summer. We definitely have more songbirds than we did with lots of cats around.

I'm going to hang the bird feeder from my porch. I don't know for sure what kinds of birds are here, so I'm going to use a generic mixed bird seed from the grocery. It's been good enough for them to regularly visit the bowl of it on the porch, so it'll do.

Hummingbirds are the ones I actually know how to feed! That feeder will go on the patio, because that's where I see them the most. Along with a little bird bath. I never use that patio, so the birds might as well have it!

I enjoy watching the birds at the feeder, but I have many squirrels. Squirrels are also entertaining, but they make buying birdseed way too expensive. I've had some supposedly squirrel-proof feeders, but at best they could be described as "squirrel inconveniencing."

Not so good for birds, but great for entertainment value. And hey, squirrels gotta eat.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I've hardly ever seen anything funnier than watching squirrels defeat my father-in-law's array of supposedly squirrel-proof birdfeeders.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You could just go ahead and get a squirrel feeder.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I won't nay-say that idea.

I would put one word of caution, in position of bird feeders. This is *not* from personal experience, so I could be completely off base here. It would stand to reason, if there is a "water cooler" for the birds to hang out at, there could be an increase of... um... bird evacuations, shall we say. Might want to hang the feeder in a spot where you don't mind things in a 6' radius getting bombed.

You are not off-base at all, omnis, as I have discovered. One reason I've decided to move bird-feeder central off my porch itself and into the trees, where normal people hang bird feeders in the first place. IOW, birds do shit where they eat.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I use to have so many squirrels around that they killed my front porch plantings. Then a neighbor moved in with two outdoor cats. My mostly indoor cat has issues with the new guys, but my plants are rather grateful. Or, at least, alive.
