Animals have to eat and they forage according to their nature.
But, lately something has been pulling down my feeders and to prevent this I wired my hanging feeders to the trees with coat hangers.
Last night some monster ripped down one of my feeders and carried it off. I have searched the surrounding woods and so far have not found it.
I looked for tracks: a bear - big raccoon - do zombies eat sunflower seeds?
Thinking about my last post: this is Stephen King's Maine...
Maybe I don't want to know.

Very likely raccoon or bear. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that it wasn't a squirrel.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is a bear. Altho usually a bear will just tear the feeder down and smash it open, not carry it off, but that could happen too. Heard about a bear carrying off a garbage can that was a 55 gal barrel, so a bird feeder would be no big deal.
ReplyDeleteYeah, if it was a squirrel, you are in deep doodoo. Do NOT go out alone or your nuts will end up on storage for winter. If you have bears in your area, I would guess bear as they have been known to raid bird feeders.
