Seller's Description
Unmarked, but for an autographed inscription on the inner flyleaf. Pristine and clean, otherwise, with the only damage being a crease on the back cover. This charming 194 page writing is "a tongue-in-beak guide to suet, seed and squirrelly neighbors." Mallery's unique writing and sense of humor tells you "in a funny, folksy style. everything you need to know about backyard birdfeeding...and a whole lot more! It is the only birdfeeding book that goes inside a squirrel's head to see what makes him tick, and explains why it's almost impossible to keep these ingenious rodents from raiding your birdfeeder."
The "wanted posted" for "Hairy Houdini" on the back cover, and all the pages within are guaranteed to be a delightful addition to your library of humor or bird references.

| Industry reviews | |
| A baffling mixture of good advice, slapstick poetry, amusing nonsense, interesting facts, puns and rhymes, and writing clearly intended to be silly, this book so often mixes pearls of wisdom and fatuous humor in proximity that many readers may be unable to distinguish one from the other. In any case, Mallery, publisher and founder of the birdfeeding newspaper Dick E. Bird News, presents really useful information in the most diffuse, haphazard way. Much of the text concerns the problems of squirrels at bird feeders: "What is the difference between a squirrel and a terrorist? You can negotiate with a terrorist." In spite of the title, there is a chapter on bird houses. In view of the abundance of straightforward, quality books on bird feeding and attracting wildlife (see "Sowing a Wildlife Garden Resource," LJ 12/96, p. 65-67), this cannot be recommended, unless one is just after the often quite clever humor.
