Each year when I go to Birdwatch America I really make an effort to take into account the country of origin of the products I look at purchasing. I know it is important to myself and my customers. This year, John and I were eating lunch at a table with several people and this subject came up and one inventor was telling us that he tried and tried to find someone to produce his feeders in the U.S. but no one could do it. The technology he needed was “out of date” in this country and the only place using it was China. He is not alone.
