The device is a thin rectangular column, with six perches [designed to be squirrel-proof; in fact this one--after much research--does seem to live up to the claim]. Flocks of birds come eagerly, at first a few at a time, then in swarms wherein if one is feeding, another is nearby fluttering ready to take its place, ad infinitum (at least until the seeds are gone). Towards the end of a cycle, the flow of birds can become a small cyclone...then peter out as quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI've been fascinated by the rhythms and patterns of these feedings, and eventually it became clear they were a wonderful stimulus for a musical translation. This short work is an evocation of and tribute to this avian energy and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"American Composers Alliance (ACA)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68003979952207,"sku":"ACA-CARL-161","price":40.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/e3a64e9af5089e67bb4967a0fb17c942.webp?v=1793734761","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/pt\/products\/carl-feeder-frenzy-aca","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
