While it’s a nice style, it’s poorly designed for wildlife.
A call came through our hotline number that a squirrel in Rockland
County was dangling by his foot in a squirrel feeder. The humane
well-meaning man who found the squirrel was able to put a box under
him so that he wasn’t dangling until help could arrive.
Marilyn Leybra and Celia Lindblom came to the rescue,
but sadly the squirrel lost his foot. Marilyn released him after
several days near her house and he’s managing to get around minus
a foot, but he has his life and seems to be doing fine! The
owner of the feeder has since wrapped black masking tape all around
to prevent a recurrence.
Would one of our readers like to find out more about
this feeder and contact the manufacturer? Please contact us at wildwatch@verizon.net Thank
you.
