Huge black bear tries to eat from bird feeder

A cool video has emerged of a big black bear shaking a bird feeder to eat seeds from it.

The footage, shot in a garden in Maine, USA this summer, shows the bear trying to reach the seed containers with his paws.

"After our first bear knocked [the feeder] down twice, I put this 1.5 inch iron pipe in concrete," the filmer wrote online.

"They shake some seed out, but this is the first time a bear has reached the feeders."
