And lastly, who uses industrial strength rope to hang a bird feeder the probably only weights a few pounds?

ropes are strong. Humans are always over-engineering with ropes for safety sake, so you are used to seeing big ropes. Little ropes are very strong. Don't beleive it? Get a small rope, like a new sneaker's shoelace, and try hanging from it. It will hold your weight.
Notice the rope is stretching a bit. It feels the load.
And trees. Trees are strong.
But yeah, if you are saying these pictures are unbelievable, I agree with you.
