  I never had a problem with this. I think squirrels are as interesting to look at as birds are, perhaps moreso. I mean, look at the acrobatics this little guy has to perform just to get at that feeder. Unlike the birds who just fly down like it’s nothing. He’s putting in the effort, let him have the fuckin’ payoff.

    Grey squirrels are invasive here. I once went to a talk where a tiny adorable grandmother was gleefully talking about finding ways to kill them all.

      I suppose that makes them quite a bit less endearing. I’ve only ever lived in places where squirrels are native, and never really understood the animosity towards them.

    I love watching the squirrels at my feeder, especially the young ones still learning to find food. I buy a mix that has corn and nuts in it just for them.

    If apes hadn’t been faster, squirrels would rule the world.

  During the winter months, I keep my seed and suet feeders inside my fenced garden. That way, it keeps squirrels and other mammals out and adds a small amount of fertilizer (droppings, shelled seeds). It’s a pleasure to see them every morning!

    Tell me of this magical squirrel repelling fence

      It’s just loose chicken wire on the top of the fence, about 24" of it all the way around, structured haphazardly. It is only tacked to the top of the fence and is very wobbly, stable enough only for small birds (chickadee size). I put it on to deter groundhogs from getting a good footing, but it seems to keep the squirrels out too. Not necessarily foolproof because squirrels are totally ninjas.

  Name doesn’t look like it would be censored in a children’s book. Clearly fake
