    Lee Valley has likely the highest ratio of obscure tools and fixtures to staff of any retailer.  Even more mind-boggling is that their staff generally know what each and every wacky little thing does.  I have, on occasion, gone in not knowing exactly what I'm looking for--but rather, just described a problem or challenge I'm having, and one of their staff (all whom are involved in at least one quirky hobby) has been able to say, "Well, son, sounds like you need this. . . ".  Like a handyman's oracle, they answer questions and dole out solutions provided you're willing to make the sometimes arduous trek to their often remote locations.  I promise you: it's worth the trip.  Particularly if you want to address a homelessness problem for a very specific type of bird.
