Building a huge natural sculpture out of tangled branches to put in place when you cut the honeysuckle would be awesome, and I'm sure you have all the time in the world to build it! ;)

Indeed. Or I could girdle it and leave it standing dead as both a bird refuge and a warning to the other neighborhood honeysuckles.

I guess you could always run as fast as you can while pushing your new mower around the dooryard…. Consider the fuel saved a sort of surplus.. once you have cut down the Honeysuckle, and need to provide food for the birds, you could then use that “surplus “ to drive to Ames Supply to get bird seed that was shipped to Wiscasset from who knows where…. Practically guilt free!

Of course the “Seed and Fruit for Native Birds Mix “ probably have Honeysuckle berries and bits in it……..

Thanks, Mark, for that cheerful advice... I did recently save on gas by not going to the store for suet and instead fed the birds some pemmican I'd made in my Hoosh days. No doubt they've flown to Antarctica and back by now.
