The first time I was able to repair it. Two nights later it was
absolutely destroyed, shredded and flattened. I will need to rethink
bird feeders, I don't think they are feasible here in the spring when
the hibernators awaken. I will go back to my old method, tossing a
few handfuls of seed out my window a few times a day.
