>> Hi friends,
>> Does anyone have any advice about how to thwart a neighborhood cat from being quite so successful at hunting the birds under our newly hung feeders? (They are suspended above bear height and we bring them in at night) This is the 1st year we’ve had a neighborhood cat…I guess we’ve been lucky in that regard. Our ideas have ranged from 1. A platform under the feeder to catch most of the seed, 2. A chicken wire fence, 3. Some physically obstructive bare tree branches underneath the feeders that the birds can easily get through but that will slow the cat down, 4. A simple barrier (right now it’s a turned-on-its-side picnic table bench) to hide the cat’s view of the birds. The cat will then have to spring “blind” over the barrier and the birds will have more time to scatter is our thinking there…
