Bear Testing The Bear Proof Bird Feeder


You think you’ve got pets? On October 12, 2013, we had the first actual test of our bear proof bird feeder.  All I had at hand when the test occurred was a still camera.  I have put the pictures I took into the video below as best I could.


Well, at least the bird feeder is still standing. The bear did manage to shake a fair amount of bird seed to the ground. That probably means, he (or she) will be back for another try. It will be interesting to see what the bird feeder looks like tomorrow morning.

We had the same type of bird feeder that is atop the pole, but on its normal stand that is about 5 feet tall. At the beginning of the season, it was attacked and knocked to the ground. We didn’t do any bird feeding over the summer. In the fall, we straightened out the bird feeder and reinstalled it next to the bear proof one which was empty and had been empty all summer. Within two days the bear came back and dealt it a fatal blow.

My friend, RichardH, suggested some music to accompany this video:


This was too cute to just take the music and leave out its video.
