For the Birds

Here is a project I meant to do this last year, but never got to it: making a birdfeeder for our backyard fire escape.

1. Gathering of materials

2.Laying on of Crisco (Crisco is such a gross product. I have it for my waffle maker and I was glad I could use it for something else).
3. Rolling of the seed. 4. Precision placement of corn kernels.5. Restaurant with a view. I will not offend your sensibilities by posting a photo of what happens to a paper towel roll birdfeeder after being put through the rigors of rain, sleet, snow and one hugely fat squirrel. Incidentally, no birds, not even a pigeon deemed our feeder worthy.
