Feed the Birds not the Bears

This time of year is a bad time of year for bears.  They’re hungry and those bird feeders are going to look mighty tasty.  Just ask Eunice Sanville of Alexandria, VA. She lost a home-made birdfeeder to a hungry bear. They’re just waking up and filling up. So if you live on the fringes of town where bears can show up, check with your local wildlife experts to see if it’s OK to hang your feeders. Otherwise you may have to take them down for a bit.
