Happy Halloween and Día de los Muertos

My dad has an electronic bird feeder that solves the squirrel problem by shocking them. He said that he had just put fresh batteries in it and was watching a nuthatch that was sitting on one of the perches motionless. It was strangely perched facing away from the feeder with its tail in the air. After quite a period of time watching the bird sitting there motionless he thought he'd go out to the feeder and take a closer look. It turns out that the little bird must have swung around to just the right position and placed its little bird sphincter on the electrode. The 9volt battery powered bird feeder actually electrocuted the poor little bugger.
