Empty Feeder

We still haven't replaced the feeder in the backyard since the raccoon toppled it off the pole. We are waiting until cold weather in the hopes that the bear will have found other places to look for food before he or she hunkers down to hibernate for the winter.

This feeder is on the side of the house by the patio. Pawpa doesn't like this one because it's bigger and heavier than the other one and harder to fill with seeds. It sits empty while a vine winds itself up the base and extends off the top. Is this Jack's beanstalk? Will it keep going til it reaches the sky?
