I personally love watching the squirrels... ( we are not over run by them ) but DH loves watching the birds..... He has an assortment of " squirrel proof" feeders... only one works( it is the weighted bar version...nothing heavier than a small bird or two can get on it bfore it clamps shut)Well, DH got the bright idea to give the squirrels their own feeders and they would leave the bird feeders alone..( I thought, yeah, right...) but u know.. it actually worked.!!! I couldnt' beleive it!When the squirrels start climbing the shepards hooks and bothering the bird feeders DH knows the squirrels feeders are empty( he only puts squirrel feed out ever few days.. I can't believe that works
DH also has a " soft" plastic pellet gun he shoots the squirrels with, when they get on the squirrel feeders

I might change my mind if we had beautiful birds, but I would rather have the squirrels than the nasty birds we have! And the thought of eating squirrels, YUCK!

I liked the story of the the squirrel on the bumper... is that the same as carry out road kill?

I surrendered to the squirrels. I just spread sunflower seeds on the ground beneath the bird feeders and let them have it. However, my husband works for the major sunflower seed packager and we get them raw for 50 cents a pound.

I have been trying to get pics of them falling off and this is as close as I got.

Twirl a Squirrel and Droll Yankee have some squirrel proof feeders that are just hillarious to watch!

I was a TV show called Daylight Robbery about squirrels and how well they can outsmart any feeder. Someone filmed the squirrels working together on the weighted kind of bird feeder, the second squirrel would sit on the other side to counterbalance the bar so the first can get in!

Our neighborhood squirrels like to take the nuts from my neighbors tree and crack them on our deck and leave the shells behind. The neighbor has a deck also, but don't know why they choose ours. My husband says they like the music better here.

Ok Odd man out here! I miss squirels! We moved next to a corn field, NO SQUIRELS!
Finally got birds to come to our bird feeders this winter, but havn't seen any since.
No, Now we have opposum, lots of those. Moles, too many of those, Turkey and dear.
I would gladly trade the Opposum for a squirels!! Least then something would be eating out of my bird feeders :(

Cloverpatch, I will try and catch some of the ones I have and transplant them to your area. I have counted 18 all out in the backyard today at one time. See, I think because the one squirrel, fell, he went home and told the other family members what happened to him. They in turn ROFLTAO at him, so he challenged them to come and try the new feeder. Well it has happened to each one time and time again. Now I am the one who is ROFLMAO. Not a fan of oppossums or moles, but love seeing turkeys and deer.
