JUST FOR FUN



(Pull the video up full screen to really get a good look.....and hopefully a little laugh.)

When our last dog, Okie, died, my husband said "no more dogs".  He had a point.  He would be retiring soon at that point and we usually take a couple of lengthy trips each year as well as some shorter 2-3 day get aways.  As a compromise he set up a "T" shaped pole outside our living room window and I have three different types of bird feeders there.  I have been getting Cardinals, Blue Jays, Morning Doves, finally some regular Goldfinch and a variety of other birds.  But I also have 3 bunnies and 3 squirrels who come and help clean up the ground.  

The squirrels also like to climb the pole and hang upside down from the basket of sunflower seeds and hop into the bird bath for a drink during their "snack" time. We also have had one of those feeders on a pole with the corn on a cob for the squirrels.  They were going through the corn so fast  my husband made the "spinning" item above.  He saw the idea in a magazine and it has been so much fun watching the squirrels try to balance and then go spinning around.  But they have learned to hang on all the while eating their fill.  

I thought you might get a little chuckle out of what we get to see several times a day.  Thanks for stopping by!
