Thanks I needed that

It's hard not to feel guilty and blame yourself. The only good about the whole thing is that it reinforces(sp?) my veganism, not that I really needed it, but it a reminder of why I am a vegan. I love animals, all animals.
you are right I had no way of knowing that this would happen, If I had I would have bought a new one right away.
i need a new feeder now, i think I will look online see if I can find some instuctions on how to make one out of a pop bottle or something. The sooner I get a bird feeder back out there I think the better I will feel.
