[CT Birds] bird feeders for elderly

[Sunshine]

This is so true.  Several years back, my brother devised a pulley system for
our bird feeders.  It worked so well that he installed a similar one at an
elderly housing complex in town.  That bird feeder, along with a bird bath
someone else brought, gave the people so much joy.

Providing bird feeders and seed to the elderly is a wonderful  gesture. I
did 
that for my parents years ago, and also I bought them a  very basic bird 
identification book with large photographs.  It gave them  much pleasure in
the 
senior years. A pair of cardinals started coming to  their feeder every
night 
just before dusk and they would watch for it and call  me to report.
Each week when I visited them, I brought a small bag of seed  for them.
