I had a long talk with 'Chippy" yesterday about the "Wildlife By-law"
 that is being proposed by the Township of Nipigon,
 but I don't think it understood a word I said.

While the bird feeder with bird seed hanging above his head will be "legal",
 the fallout could be subject to a fine for enticing "wildlife".
