Bird Feeder

[poliphilo]

The in-laws have bought themselves a new bird feeder and- as usually happens- we've been gifted with the old one. The old one is structurally sound, just a bit weathered- oh- and no bird ever went near it.

It's a free standing jobby- like a small tree.

I've erected it in the back yard and hung its hooks with birdy treats- and our bird population is ignoring it too.

Maybe it carries a curse.

Maybe the birds in your area are too proud to accept hand-me-downs?

Perhaps.

My initial reaction (because I'm proud too) was to chuck it in the bin- but I thought, "No, that would be petty."
