Leftover pumpkin "for the birds!"

If you live in bear country, you
might want to bring it inside
at night! They are hungry and
a pumpkin would smell great!
   The morning after Halloween, do you just throw out your pumpkin. Let's rethink that idea.

   The Audubon Society says it can be made into a real feast for the local birds. Just cut it in half, as shown; make sure the seeds are scooped out (too big for most birds); insert sticks or small branches into the pumpkin to create perches; knot two ends of light rope or twine together and tack to the bottom of your pumpkin; hang it over a strong branch and enjoy the birds.
