The teeter-totter: a gently swaying mobile heavy wooden branch perch
for the local birds: I found a large, heavy curved stick on one of my regular
neighborhood walks a couple of weeks ago. I brought it home, not knowing
exactly of what use it might be. Finally my feeble brain decided that it
would make a nice perch for the birds. I hung it from its balance-midpoint
and suspended it with a piece of cord near the several bird feeding stations
that are hung outside of my sunroom window under the roof overhang. These
are often overcrowded with local birds, mostly House Finches and English
Sparrows. Sometimes they wait patiently in the nearby shrubs that grow along
the side fence and also in the Japanese Maple tree. Other times they just
get pushy and force their way onto a feeder perch. With this new perch,
the bird teeter-totter, they have an alternative to the lightweight cord
clothesline, which no bird can easily perch upon.
