Serious Bird Feeders For Homebodied Bird Watchers

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


I love feeding birds, and– as an Air Oriented person energetically, feeding birds is an automatic Service to Air that gains me some “white marks” karmically or what have you. It’s a part of my religion. Cat is a longtime bird feeder as well, so we’ve started a couple of them last autumn and kept it up.

However, we’ve become very frustrated with the local Gray squirrels. They’ve been steadily eating my birdseed for months now, and it’s too expensive to keep up. Cat pulled out her old caged feeders– and the suet one worked great, but the seed one was too dirty and missing parts, so got tossed. But she said she’d buy a new caged seed feeder if I got this month’s seeds and I eagerly agreed to this. (A new one cost over $50!! Yowch!)

Meanwhile, the hummingbirds that Cat feeds by the kitchen window went from 2 pair last year to 5 pair this year– and needed a second feeder! She was trading out between 2, but hung a second and decided to buy a third to trade out.

This meant a trip to the Wildbird store was in order, and as it’s open for Phase One, we could do this.

Cat and I brought our hand sanitizer and N95 masks (small store with close contact with the clerk, so…) and drove there. They were only allowing 2 to 3 customers at a time, and an older man (70s) was already there. Everyone wore masks. A couple of people pulled up outside and got things delivered to their cars via the clerk. But Cat and I picked out $200 worth of stuff, including 2 new feeders (and big bags of seed mean less trips, right?) and quickly paid and left.

Most people there were very kind and considerate. The old guy who was already there when we got there was buying a small armload of things and taking FOREVER to make his choices, whereas Cat and I blasted through there getting our own purchases. We were careful to stay away from him (even though I’m certain she and I are not carriers) and all was well.

Except I saw a forest goddess garden statue and wanted to check it out. I saw it after we went outside and were loading our things into the car. I asked the clerk if I could go in real quick to check it. She said sure– and there were no other people except the old guy. I just lifted it and realized they wanted over $130 for a bunch of resin (plastic) and decided no, but the other customer got angry. He asked us to please leave, he’d been waiting for a long time. I was dismayed! Still– I said a sincere “Sorry!” and then mentioned to Cat to just go– the statue I was checking out was only resin, not cement, so not worth what they were asking for it.

But still–! We weren’t breaking ANY rules and got permission AND I was going to wait until the guy was finished FIRST before paying for the statue (had I decided I wanted it.) He was all snarly over our not being GONE first in order for him to buy anything. To begin with, we waited outside for 5 minutes while he was in there alone to begin with and he was nowhere near done. And we were polite and stayed across the store from him when we did go in! So, his attitude was over the top, to my thinking!

But we left and gave him his way and I rolled my eyes over it, irritated but at least it didn’t trigger a PTSD meltdown or anything, so silver linings!

And now we have our birdies all taken care of for a while. =^)
