Ha the damned squirrels chewed off my bungee cords. We got about 10 inches of snow and when I brushed it off the metal can lid I said, " Where are my bungee cords". Two fo them were still attached to the bail but you could see where the squirrels and chew them into 2 pieces. I found another on...

I have a feeder in there and change (frozen) water out every hour. It's a small run the upstairs coop is fine. They are still getting to know each other and I want to make sure all of the birds get food. The food in the feeder is not high protein for the winter either. Like I said the did...

This morning when I went out to feed I thought, "You wait and see those pesky squirrels will chew the bungee cords. Gotta get a tight good garbage garage so they can't get to my barrels. Raising chickens is a cake walk. Dealing with other critters is a PIA. Just saying. Oh and now I have...

Ok so I went to True Value bought a 31 gallon metal trash can. It has a handle on the top and two bail handles on the sides. So I got 2 short bungee cords. I wrapped them around the handle on the top and then had to stretch them to capture the 2 bail handles on the sides. And then I yelled...

Or I could move to Ft Knox.

So I've just been letting the squirrels eat leftovers. I like feeding my birds outside for them to get some exercise etc. I keep my DE,PDZ and a bag of pine shavings in one heavy duty brow plastic trash can. Lid locks. And then I keep feed, scratch, oyster shell, and a freezer bag of meal...

I wonder how that would work if you put the bucket with a hole in the base upside down on the pole. You must put it up the pole some. Too close to the ground and they could jump up on the lid/bucket and continue up the pole. Too bad to put a hole in a good bucket but then again you probably...

Where would I get something like that.

The slinky isn't stationary. It slides down as the squirrel climbs up. Sorta like trying to go up the down escalator. It's kinda weird. I've had that bird feeder up for about 2 weeks. Never seen a squirrel. And the suet too. The NutHatch loves the suet. And now he can't get up the pole...

Problem is the pole in in the frozen ground. I have another pole on the other side of the house that doesn't have any limbs I can get a bucket on that. The problem there is that there is no window to observe the birds. The present one is right out side from kitchen sink. It is a hummingbird...

I might have to get a mangey barn cat and post him out doors. My DIL has a 20lb Morris Cat. Wandered in from the city streets. I don't think it can walk even. She got the cat when she was a teenager and didn't realize not to feed it some much. He lives upstairs and you can hear him yowling...

Not sure how to post picture. You just put the pole through the slinky and they can't get any traction. The cooking oil won't last too long.

That incident happened farther out in the field before he got to the feeder.

Ha I covered the whole post with cooking oil, And now the NutHatch can't get up the post to the suet. But that's ok because I brought the feeder in. And I'm going to Wally World tomorrow and buy a slinky. Put it on the pole and the squirrel can't climb:woot:yesss::gig

Not of the chicken variety. I am feeding the small wild birds too. Chick-a-dees sparrows etc. So I get up to get my morning banana and what do I see on my small bird feeder. A SQUIRREL hanging up side down. Ate a good 1/4 of what was in there. Thing is he spilt a lot on the ground. Can I say...
