my dad rigged up a light bulb which was under neath
a bird watering pan. the pan was metal so conducted
the heat from the bulb. this arrangement kept the
water from freezing in nebraska where it gets way
below zero at times...that is one reason i am not
there any more!
i just got a wire cage suet holder/feeder.
some critters need fat to help them keep
warm. pet bird seed mixes for winter warmth contain
oats and groats. i guess that is buckwheat groats.
these help the body make heat i guess.
perhaps that is why oat meal is good for winter
breakfast for us two leggeds.
