Hello all. I have a collection of crows that come to get the peanuts I put out twice a day. I get a kick out of watching them because I also have a dish of water by the peanuts and they wash the peanuts before eating them. They'll pick up the peanut, walk to the dish and put the peanut in their feet and stand on the edge of the dish with thier toes and peanut in the water. Then they will procede to use thier bill to crack the peanut shell, dig out the peanut, swish it around and then eat it. I love the crows! However............... I also have "wrought iron" garden hooks that I hang the sunflower feeder of off and suet cages and and a "peanut trap" for already shelled peanuts. Remember, I love the crows, but the buggers enjoy the suet as well. Not a bad thing except that they grab hold of the cage and fly up and away- usually only one wing strok and drop the cage onthe ground and then eat all the suet. The woodpeckers never get to it anymore. So I've tried putting a heavy nut ( think nut and bolt ) over the top of the hook but those crows are strong....... SO I've found a longish piece of copper pipe to fit over the end of the garden hook. I don't think the'll be able to life the copper pipe first. BUT what I'm wondering now is ............ will the copper " leanch " anything onto the suet when it rains / snows? I think I've seen bird feeders made with copper....... Thanks, Angela -- Angela and Darren Slaunwhite adslaun@ns.sympatico.ca
