Squirrel in the 'Squirrel-Proof' Birdfeeder :)
Comments (8)Vera, I know, isn't it hilarious?!! I wish I had thought to have the camera up and ready when I told him he had to leave. He managed to flip around in there and come up head first. He peered over the edge at me before he skedaddled. It would have made a priceless picture. Lisa...See MoreKeeping Squirrels off Squirrel Proof Feeder
Comments (3)One thing I've tried but sadly, it only works for a short time is this: Spray the pole and every place the squirrels may touch with oily cooking spray. Then sprinkle it HEAVILY with red pepper. They really hate red pepper. The rain will wash it all away and red pepper is NOT cheap in the bigger containers, but it works. I mostly use it when I'm at my wit's end just to get the satisfaction of watching them try to get to the seed but can't. If someone could come up with a good reliable and affordable solution to this, they could make a lot of money! We've tried all the squirrel baffles, supposedly squirrel proof feeders, etc. but they always find a way around it....See MoreSquirrel gulag: final??? Plan
Comments (4)Love the idea of additional sleeping space -- perhaps add wiring to the wall above each side (the far left-hand wall and the far right-hand wall) for a swing-arm lamp for cozy lighting ... OR add a swing-arm lamp to the far left-hand side of the left window AND to the far right-hand side of the right window .... ... And I would take the pantry cupboard right up to the top of the ceiling .......See MoreMy 2 mi energy walk led to firewood work and a Squirrel’s challenge!!
Comments (5)I used a hoe to slowly pull the wood on the ground on the right away (from where it came from). The wood on the left end should have been burned last winter. Both batches and all over a year old will be burned in 2-3 weeks (oldest first). Re stocking is well on the way since I have at least a 3rd cord of Pecan in my trailer. It will have to be green wood and close for me to bring any restocking until I see what I need. A little research showed Squirrels reproduce Feb-Apr and Aug-Sept as when 2 litters (2-5) are expected. I’ll work away from the almost stocked right end (that I think could be trouble now). I am anxious to see inside my 14” ID Chimney Pipe due to burning less than a year old Red Oak trying to hold some colds overnight (choking off as much air as I have control of). Separating the Seasons is becoming Challenging. LOL I am getting my best rest “Now” since I have All Morning to get My Energy Walk (2 mi X 5 Days) and Chores Done (3 days 2-3 hrs of real work). Since my 03 retirement, I almost feel like I retired due to projects I saved until retirement...See Morejoed
