Bird Feeder Comparison - (Reading > Apply a Diagram)

Subject: Courtyard feeders To: Paul Boudreau <paul.boudreau@southshorelodge.ca> From: Samira Melanson <samira.melanson@southshorelodge.ca> Hi Paul, Mr. Zwicker finally got his way at last night's residents' council meeting. After months of his squirrel reports, the council voted to spend $150 of the bake sale money on courtyard feeders. I know you think we'd just be feeding the squirrels, but hear me out. I'm never up in time for Tidewater's Saturday walk, but I've bought seed for my deck feeder there for years. On Saturday, while Margo was ringing me up, I mentioned our squirrel war. She slipped this flyer in with my receipt and steered me to the squirrel-proof kit. Clayton in maintenance built our old tray, and the residents' complaints never change: it's empty by ten, the seed turns to mush in the rain, and the jays chase the chickadees off. They'll love the new one, because 1. A few of them asked for one at each end of the sunroom, but 2. I'd rather spend some of the money on Mrs. Wentzell. She still talks about the goldfinches on her farm in New Germany, and we've never seen one here, so I'd get her 3. Right now, everything has to hang in the big maple, out of sight of the sunroom. Clayton has offered to put a pole in right outside the windows, but first he needs to know 4, and the flyer doesn't say. You've swept husks off that patio all winter, so for the squirrel-proof one, I'd buy 5. Could you let me know by Thursday? I'll phone the order in on Friday. Thanks, Samira
