On a recent trip to the Outer Banks we got this cool bird feeder. We really like lighthouses so I was excited about cool lighthouse shaped bird feeder. We put the feeder up a week ago. I can't even tell you how many times we have filled it up. That would be because of Fat Bastard.
Yes he is a squirrel and yes I hate him. I do. He has managed to eat about 4 pounds of birdseed in a 3 day period. No lie. Yesterday he managed to eat every bit of seed in the feeder while we were at work. I think he believe he has discovered his own "all you can eat" buffet. I didn't see a bit of him last night, I am assuming it was because he was looking for some antacid to get over his indigestion from the binge.
If something were to mysteriously happen to him I would not be sad in the least bit. I am not going to say that I am an advocate of squirrel murder, nor do I plan on doing Fat Bastard any harm. But I would not shed a tear if he were never to return. More to come on that later...
This is Jake. As in Jake Ryan. As in Jake Ryan from Sixteen Candles. Okay there were no birds in Sixteen Candles but I think this bird is as beautiful as Jake. This isn't the best picture of him, but he is pretty skittish so this is the best picture I was able to get. He has the prettiest blue and white feathers all over his back side. Jake is my favorite bird that comes by.
This isn't a great picture, but there is a finch and a female cardinal on the feeder. I didn't realize how much I would enjoy having a bird feeder but I can see this one from my kitchen window and I love it! I do feel like I have aged myself by naming a bird (Jake), but he is the only one I have named. I am just hoping we can come to a peaceful resolution with Fat Bastard. Especially before he invites all his squirrel friends over for party on my deck.
