I had a talk with Ripley, the #NorthernFlicker who has been abusing my hanging #suet #feeder and inadvertently feeding the #BlueJays.

She explained that if I'd taken the simple precaution of looking up her size on the internet and measuring the perch distance, we wouldn't be having this problem, ya jerk.

These photos demonstrate her situation with the aid of a #plush #GiantAnteater which is bigger than Ripley, but has the same length legs-to-snout.
