Wow, that's neat. I'm glad you were able to
communicate.

There is a "fish hatchery" I've visited. If you
wave your arm, the fish come
a'running, they are used to being fed fish food
by people who wave an arm as
they throw the fish food in.

Mine is outdoors, partly under a porch roof. It
works fine all year
round, even through New England winters. The
winter sun and low
humidity dry clothes the same way they dry
roads.

I do have to relocate the bird feeder when the
laundry is out.

Once when the feeder was hanging out back in the
woods and I was
taking down the laundry a nuthatch buzzed around
me, perching nearby
and fanning its wings to get my attention. When
I pointed my arm
towards the feeder it looked and then shot off
in that direction.

I've trained dogs to look, sniff or go-lie-down
where I'm pointing but
that's the only time I've seen a wild creature
understand it.

Last fall I heard a bump on the shop window. Went
out to see what
happened. It was a wren. I picked it up and its
eyes were moving
and the heart was going so it wasn't dead. Went to
the shop door
and leaned on the frame holding the wren in my
hand. It tried jumping
sort of but its brain was rattled bad. So I held
it in my cupped hands
to warm it and it settled down and closed its
eyes. Slept for 5 mins
then woke up alert again. It hopped up on my
thumb, turned around
to look at me as if to say thanks and flew away! I
smiled the rest
of that day! Saved a little bird..... ;)} guess I
ain't all that bad... heh
