So last year we purchased our retirement house in North GA. and we moved there in September . Love everything about it , so quiet and peaceful . Anyway being in rural mountain area we knew there would be an abundance of wildlife and we have not been disappointed , anything from rabbits to deer and lots of birds . We also knew there are bear . Last night I got up to close the living room blinds and there he is snacking on bird food
Glad he's a little guy but guess what he'll get bigger and oh yeah mom and dad are out there too !
No I don't want to shoot him he has a right to be here just like us ........... unless he does something nasty then I'll blow his head off
So what to do about bird feeder ?
1.Just stop feeding the birds , wife not happy with that plan .
2.Raise bird feeder higher in the air with stronger pole so bear can't knock over or climb .
3.Wife say's there are " hot " mixes of bird food that attracts birds but deters other wild life .
We will check with the locals to get additional advice but you guys always come through . We also have four humming bird feeders but so far Mr. Bear not interested but now he may be if we take away the other feeder . Here's a few pics of the little rascal !
