heh,reminds me of this video I saw on TV that an English couple shot;they
had a squirrel/bird feeder problem,and begin engineering more
difficult-to-
access bird feeders,and taped the squirrels defeating them,and it was
amazing what the rodents could get past.
it was literally squirrels running obstacle courses.
VERY entertaining.


Oh, I quite agree- I don't garden (other than the weeds), so I don't care
if the rabbits and squirrels steal the birdseed that the sloppy birds
spill out of the feeders, which hang on skinny iron poles too far out in
space for the squirrels to get to directly. And they are fun to watch.
(along with the turkey and deer that wander by.) I don't use yard
chemicals or fertilizer, since I'm cheap, so I suppose my yard tastes
better to all my 4-legged guests.

I could do without the damn woodpecker boring holes in my faux chimney
stack, however.

The squirrels do damage to the fruit trees here.
