Well of course they did. Bears always put each other first and we always give each other's projects full support. The only reason I was waiting on the fence for a couple of minutes was because the rest of the guys were all busy in the kichen, filling all the feeders with scrummy (for birds) food.
I popped in to help fill the feeders as it was a big job with the number we had to fill. As you can see I got to do the fun job which is to squirt everything with Squirrel Stop. This is a chilli pepper spray which birds don't mind but is repugnant to squirrels. It's quite essential in our garden where we have a rather confident and overfamiliar squirrel.
Once the feeders were full and we'd got the feeding post upright and in place, the next job was to carry the feeders outside. The base of the felled tree made a great place to assemble them ready for hanging.
It was quite a long way up to the hanging hooks but fortunately bears are great climbers. As Tommy spends so much time in the garden he is our best climber, so in no time at all he had all the feeders hung up and ready for some hungry birds to tuck into.
Bon appetit, our feathered friends.
Lots of love, Marmaduke and all at Bears Unlimited xxx

The Midlands Branch were very taken with the Elf video clip and soon recognised Ungi,Jimmy,Nibbles and Panda. Has Ungi really got a red nose now, or has he been out in the cold or on the bottle? I don't suppose our minder can make one of these as he is not very energetic these days.
We put up a feeder of mixed seed today but could not find the sunflower seed or peanuts, Must remedy that tomorrow and get some Squirrel Stop as we have a pair who are getting very cheeky. They will be looking in the window before long. Rupert told Raj that it was a pity we had not got the old pop-gun we had at Burnside to see them off,
Looking forward to seeing the Norfolk Branch on Tuesday.
Love from Rupert, Raj, Connie & Polar, plus the visitors from the Suffolk branch.
