It wasn't totally odd, but my sister gave me a Stokes Select Tractor Cob Feeder. You screw it into a tree or post and it is in the shape of a tractor. You put two corn cobs on it (screw them in) and watch the squirrels go nuts!!!!!!!! It'll be fun to put out front so I can watch them through the window while I am sewing. It is a fantastic gift and I just love it. Edie
