The squirrel situation revisited |
|
I have figured out how to stop the squirrels from stealing all the birdseed. No, I didn't shoot pinto beans at them.
I let them eat all the food. A feeder full of sunflower seed, a brick of suet and a seed bell, all have been eaten in 2-3 days.
I am leaving all of it empty today. Now, I get to watch them hunt for food.
Oh dear.. I'm starting to feel bad.. they look sooo hungry.
:hi:

you could put chilli powder in the birdseed. The birds can't taste it, but the squirrels can and don't like it.
I have no idea whether this is true, or whether it is wise. YMMV.

They were cute at first, but they need to go find nuts or something. I'm devising a hillbilly contraption to keep them from being able to reach the feeders. Its still in the planning stages hehe
