Bird Watching: Show Us Your Birdfeeders Vol. 11, 1 by dovey

A couple of days ago FedEx dropped off a two packages...Our dog "alerted" me with his explosive barking, actually he startled the begeebers outta me.

I assumed it was shoes we ordered for a Tai-Chi class and was happy to think we would have them before our first lesson.
I was totally surprised when the FedEx guy hauled out a one big box and one smaller box. My husband had secretly ordered a squirrel-proof birdfeeder pole, I thought ohhh my gosh, how sweet.
Still thinking the small box was our shoes, I brought it in the house and opened it, only to find another box inside labeled; "Cool Cat Feeder".
I thought Ohhh my gosh nooo, I hope it's not one of those "cat with an open mouth bird feeder", how am I going to act like I love one of those goofy things. I felt like an ungrateful snit even thinking like that way, but as crappy as it is, that's what I thought.
I despise hokey garden art... sorry to all you folks that love them, but that's just me.

With dread I opened the "Cool Cat" box to find my bestest obsession, a handcrafted Green Man bird feeder. There was my beloved Green Knight with his mouth open and his wicked tongue sticking out, in a split second the inside of my nose tingled and my eyes burned, big tears rolled down my cheeks and I hugged it.

Here is the new Green Man feeder.
