I probably shouldn't be serious but maybe that bird feeder could be raised up about 5' off the ground to discourage the deer from congregating unnaturally. This really isn't healthy for the deer.

We're staring down a thousand dollar fine for feeding deer as a direct result of public heatlh concerns. They recommend using the telescoping poles used for Purple Martin houses. Me, I have a step ladder by the back door. Our main bird feeder is installed at 6' off the ground. I leave it out there this time of year to avoid dragging it in and out. You probably wouldn't be allowed to do that.

That's interesting. What are the public health concerns beside Lyme disease? Here, the prejudice against deer is because of collisions with cars.
A downstairs neighbor put up the feeders but he can no longer navigate out, so we go get the seed and fill them. In the pix, Roger is standing on alot of snow covered rocks and concrete decorations which widely surround the feeder. Makes it difficult for me to even get close. We're not purposely feeding the deer as turkeys and jays and other birds like the corn. |
