A neighbour discarded this Bird Muskoka folding bicycle with 20″ wheels 7 speed, so I picked it up for review and tune up. I enjoy anything about bicycles and love to see how they are manufactured and how they ride. This is a Bird Muskoka folding bicycle, the paint job, including the Canadian flag, seemingly tailored to the Canadian market. Even more fitting is that I did most of the repairs on 2024 July 01, Canada Day. Fitting.

Foiled by an Immature Brown Squirrel

Immature brown squirrel does acrobatics to eat my birdfeed. Get fat already.

I feel I get along well with nature, but I draw the line at my birdfeeder. You see, it’s a ‘birdfeeder’, not a squirrel or wildlife feeder. When I see that squirrels are getting my feed, I think of a way to outsmart them. This worked for a month until yesterday, when we found an immature brown squirrel doing amazing acrobatics to get at my feed. I’ll have to think of something new.
