One needs to get a firm grip on one’s food if you are not going to miss it – or fall off your perch. You can tell birds were not consulted when this feeder was designed. I need to get a good grip here by holding onto the grid as there isn’t much space for two feet.

Landing can be rather awkward – even if you are a tad more elegantly proportioned. At least we can be more comfortably seated for snacking once that has been accomplished.

This is an elegant way to perch.

Actually eating is not always comfortable though.

Sjoe daardie wewer het verskriklike lang kloue! Ek stem saam, die voerbakke is nie goed ontwerp nie.As ek ‘n voël was, het ek ‘n klagte ingedien by die vervaardigers.🤣

Hierdie plastiese voerbakke is nie hier vervaardig nie. Ek soek orals vir ‘n goei een wat in Suid-Afrika gemaak is.

I was surprised when I started taking pictures of birds on our feeders to find just how often they missed their footing when landing.

The antics at your feeders are fun to see. I often wonder if the birds would prefer wooden pegs to perch on as they might not get as slippery.

Quite possibly.

When it comes to sourcing food, birds can be surprisingly adaptable.
