We have a finch feeder on a shepherd’s hook outside our kitchen window. Yesterday as I was unloading and putting groceries away, I noticed the feeder was gone. It was pretty windy around here on Saturday so I thought maybe there was a possibility that it blew off the hook. (Although highly unlikely in my opinion – it was about a third full of seed and would have had to have swung up about sixty degrees to dislodge from the hook.) I went out and started looking around in the flower beds under the window and then around the rest of the side yard… no bird feeder to be found.
So who the heck would steal a bird feeder from the side of someone’s house? :mad: 
It’s not like it was brand-new – it was a few years old and fairly weather-beaten. Oh well, I guess someone needed it worse than we did. I just hope, since they can’t afford to buy a feeder, that they can at least afford to keep it full. (Maybe they’ll steal seed from someone else’s house.)
