I'm not kidding! This maker of this product actually named it "Bill." This product is an aid to training the wild birds around your yard to feed from your hand. Ordinarily this is a painstaking task, requiring you to spend many hours outdoors standing (or sitting) as still a statue, creeping a bit closer to the feeder every day, so the birds will get comfortable with you. Since this process works best in the winter, when birds are hungry and more apt to take chances, this could mean standing in the rain and/or snow! This guy is meant to stand in for you so you don't have to. Then when the time is right, all you have to do is stand in for him.

This gallery documents my experiment with "Bill."
