Info from Licensor: "We live in Black Mountain, NC aka 'Bear Alley.' I was pleased to see mama Bear and three cubs had survived Hurricane Helene, and while it was scary and thrilling to watch them feast on the bird seed, it's a BIG NO-NO in the mountains. Food sources for wildlife were reportedly washed away by the storm and this was the first time I had ever tried to feed the hungry birds, squirrels and chipmunks. Our deck was being replaced before the storm and yet the missing parts were no problem for the agile bear family.
The crazy part is how meek the mama bear was regarding the baby who had took possession of the heavy crystal bowl from Goodwill. Many families have a child born with an intensity that dominates or at least tries to. Then there is the little sibling down below you can hear crying for some but “a little slow” on how everybody got up there! Bear family dynamics on display."
