Fucking Squirrels

You know, all I want is for my little birdie friends to get enough to eat. That's all I ask. But instead, this fucking squirrel is the bane of my existence.

What I don't understand is why he's going after nyjer seed anyway. It's the smallest seed ever and finches are some of the only birds with the patience to go after it. I like it for that very reason. As much as I would love to have a wide variety of birds at my feeders, knowing that the birds won't have to compete with squirrels is a bonus.

Except that this asshole squirrel is really pissing me off.

Like you're not fat enough already, SQUIRREL.

So I tried to compromise. I put out suet. Suet is good for attracting huge varieties of birds, but I wouldn't know anything about that because squirrels usually get to it first.

Fuckers.

attach an unfurled Slinky ...yes slinky ... to the pole and that little squirrel wont be able to climb the pole anymore..... But please take pics of them trying.

shane - You've mentioned that before and apparently I ignored you. Or forgot. Whatever, I'm old now.

Perhaps if I try that, I can put out seed for birds other than finches...

Also cayenne pepper or chili powder. The birds don't care, but apparently squirrels.

I share your hatred of squirrels. They have killed my beautiful squash plant! I threw a rock at one the other day and it hissed at me! I am trying to convince the bf to shoot them.

lem - Ohhhh, chili powder. That sounds brilliant. So, mix it in with the seeds?
