LOL! I'm getting quite a few laughs out of this challenge. Great concept and I like how the apple's red is echoed on the bird (a nuthatch?). Slight improvement would be to have the right edge of the shot a little further from the apple. The apple has more visual mass than the bird, so maybe even the right margin slightly larger than the left.
You know that's a good idea, you could cut it and put peanut butter on it. They love that! I feed the birds and always have. Nice to see you share the same joy of watching them. Nice feeder. The shot is nice and clear with excellent light and color. Good work.
Good picture and concept, my biggest complaint is that your title could have been so many things with this picture, and im not sure this one captured the full irony of the situation.
