When filling the bird feeder today I noticed the sun sculpture that has been hanging on the fence for years. Well for Heaven’s sake, it has a perfect holder for a bit of bird seed! So I poured a couple of ounces in the outstretched hands. As you can see Mr. Blue Jay thought this was a great idea. Unfortunately so did Chippy. He plopped himself down and started shoveling the seed into his very receptive pouches. Then, like a flash, he was off! Only to return, not once or twice, but THREE times! He finally left when he had vacuumed up the entire pile of seeds and taken them to his nest. Since my mission was to feed the birds, not the resident chipmunk, I think I will have to come up with a new plan.
