I found a dead little chickadee inside my feeder

Mary ~ Are you sure it's squirrel proof?

The reason I ask is that the squirrels at my friend's cabin frequently put dead birds on top of the seeds to scare other birds away.

Seriously? I've never heard of such a thing! That's crazy! Wow! Well, I've watched the squirrels climb up the pole and try to get into the feeder and the couldn't do it. They'd have to be pretty dexterous to open the lid because it takes two hands. That would really freak me out to think that a squirrel could put that bird in there and, if that's the case, his ploy didn't work. The birds were still feeding. Yikes! That's gonna give me nightmares!

Sounds pretty squirrel proof to me.

So sorry to read this.

Fly around happily by the Rainbow Bridge, dear little birdie!
