yard is so peaceful. Chasing cats becomes an interesting event, so
you can use a bird feeder to attract birds, which if properly
designed will attract cats, and then you can also use it creatively
to ENTERTAIN YOUR DOG! You can now sell a "doggie exercise and play
kit" to include a bird feeder, retractable dog chain, hiding cover,
etc. NO MORE WALKING THE DOG! With enough bird feeders you could even
start an exercise kennel business!<

I know some of these ideas are tongue-in-cheek, but... I have two
dogs and a bird feeder that attracts more squirrels than birds. Our
dogs can get so transfixed by the bird feeder action, that my wife
and I call the feeder "Squirrel TV"

Malcolm responds:

Wow, great idea!! Is the URL, www.squirrelTV.com available? You could get a
web cam, recruit other squirrel feeder filmmakers with web cams (paid on
commission), and offer a free 30-day trial, after which browsers would need to
ante up on a monthly basis. You would have three markets... bored urbanites,
senior centers, and rich dog ownes with big screen TVs - pet accessible. The
newspaper and TV publicity opportunities are off the charts!

I think I will start writing a book (unless someone is already on it...) ,
"101 Uses for Bird Feeder" or "101 Small Businesses You Can Start with a Bird
Feeder!"

And of course, fried squirrel is great southern Redneck quisine... maybe you
could get Jeff Foxworthy to provide endorsements!
