Bird Watching Gone Awry

For his recent birthday, Mr S was given a bird feeder with a camera inside that transmits photos to an indoor computer. Works like a security camera/motion detector and it’s connected to my iPad. We haven’t seen any birds, but this visitor came two nights in a row and stayed a long time, unable to believe his good fortune. Not wanting to be in the rodent business, we dismantled the feeder until we can figure out a rat-proof way to mount it.
