    Good Morning Gaynor...
    That is a very pitcher-skew use of a dead tree... but the Guinea Fowl looks a bit confused... but then again, they always are!

      We always see guinea fowl there but it's hard to say whether they are the same birds or on a rolling programme to the pot!

    I am definitely impressed! But what a job to keep everything filled!

      It's not ours, but it always seems fairly well stocked through the winter.

    Hello Gaynor:
    We are a little confused! What about all the birds?!!

    Fabulous -- but how do they keep the grey squirrels out of it I wonder?

      Susan, those two big feeders...
      the peanut one [grey/galv'd] and the seed one [green] above it are large bird and squirrel proof...
      they are the only design that is....
      [RSPB and Gardening Which tested]
      PROVIDED of course....
      they don't take them off the hooks.
      It has been seen!! I don't think anything is really "American tree rat" proof!
      Then, all the other stuff around them might also act as a distraction? {{8-)

    I wish we had guinea fowl here, something that I miss from S.Africa. Take care Diane

      Do you mean to see or to eat?

      I've never tried to buy one in France.

    We had guinea fowl...escaped from the farm over the road....they seemed to have a death wish as I had to keep a net handy for fishing them out of the river.

    I'm tracking down a source here to breed them for the table...our table.

    It's brilliant and totally bizarre and I agree with Tim that the guinea fowl definitely looks confused, poor thing! Love it. Axxx
