We have successfully stormed the barricades of our own home! Okay, that's an exaggeration. After strategy #1 (maybe the ice will melt on its own before the birds empty the feeder) failed, strategy #2 was developed: use the ladder to climb up to the balcony and over the railing. (It's not that high up -- too high to jump for it and scramble over, but not like 'I'm questioning my life choices' high.)
The bad news was that the ice was, if anything, even more impressive from the outside. Definitely did not get the door open still. The good news was that it was super fun! Also that we were able to refill the bird feeder, so now the birds can have their snacks again!
(I think it would be nice to have access to the ground from the balcony, and have considered whether we could get away with a permanent ladder. What if it was one of those fire escape ladders? Inquiring minds want to know!)
