Was this from a blind?

Also could you help me with something please. Your tree trunk is thicker on the bottom than on top. I would be tempted to try and straighten it so it is vertical. But then the bird would be leaning back more I guess. Could you explain the reasoning behind leaving it like this. Thanks and always appreciate the information and help.
Hi Issac, yes this was from a blind. Perch is not a tree but it is a part of a branch that was placed near the feeder. The perch was not straight otherwise you won't see the tail of the flicker much, you have to place it at an angle.
