Levitating Bird-feeder

This is John's solution to the squirrels that kept raiding the feeder. Yes, what appears to be a levitating bird-feeder is actually the feeder held up by 30 pound-test fishing line. So far it seems to have worked...the chickadees are happily eating away (although it does have a tendency to spin around, they don't seem to mind) while the squirrels have not yet figured out how to get at it. I'm expecting them to recruit reinforcements and mount an attack any day now, though.

What is it hanging from? Indeed, it looks like it is levitating in mid-air. I don't see a tree branch nearby? xox Mom

Maybe you should patent it and market it . . .
