Birdfeeder Battle

[deguspice]

This round goes to the squirrel.

From Critters

Next, I'll try a squirrel baffle like this. (I'm not sure how long it'll keep the squirrels baffled.)

I could have added a baffle earlier, but I wanted to see what would happen without it.

Edit: After talking with Ann, we've decided that (for now) the squirrel(s) amuse us, so we're probably going to leave things as they are.

I absolutely encourage making this more difficult in installments; that way you'll train the squirrels, and I'm on the side of the squirrels here.

Or, you could feed the squirrels too, so they don't have to use the birdfeeder.

Peanuts are popular in our yard.

Even when there'e plenty of dropped seed and other convenient food, I've found I have to keep the squirrels off the birdfeeders anyway, because they'll chew them to bits. If they just ate the seed, I wouldn't mind. Maybe Wilmington squirrels are just more ornery.
