The marvelous Miss Martha has deemed this week “Birthday Princess Week”. I've received copious presents — certainly more than I am due. The latest of which was this delightful birdfeeder. Unfortunately I was not able to accept the gift yesterday due to my lack of presence on the West side of the Bay.
That was a mistake. Martha warned me that her cat could use the Internets and that if I did not take the feeder right away he would post it on Craigslist as trade for food. I waved off that notion as poppycock. “Cats can't compute!” I said, and informed the lovely lady that I would collect the gift on the morrow.

looking to trade a flensted Bird Feeder Mobile.
i received it as a gift and i do not like birds.
i would like in exchange 2 rotisserie chickens, 4 cans of tuna (low sodium,in water) and half dozen deviled eggs.i also have a red wool sweater that i am willing to trade for an additional chicken.
that gargamel is shrewd, indeed.

She is the Princess who bestows bounties upon the birthday havers.

We do not have low sodium tuna, but we do have two cans of Fancy Feast. We think the bird feeder could be instrumental in inviting/attracting certain avian strangers into our as heretofore exclusively human and feline circle of friends. If the two cans of Fancy Feast (turkey giblet surprise, and one Ocean Feast) do not strike your Fancy, as it were, then we suppose we could talk some Chicken. but really the Turkey (giblet, with gravy!) is not half bad.
