She shines with her own kind of light.
I wish I could see how she anchored the slinky at the top
Brilliant!
When I saw to caption to your post, my first thought was, how did she get Obama to climb that pole.
The squirrel’s reaction is, “what the...!”
Anyone have a solution for keeping them from chewing through screens on a screened in porch? They do it to get in and climb into the soffits to build nests when it’s nesting time. My handyman asked why I just didn’t leave the door open for them and they wouldn’t have to chew through the screens. I didn’t think much of that idea. LOL He has repaired and repaired the holes in the screen and the colder it gets, the more they’ll be inclined to start up again. He has cut and put sturdier screen over at least 3/4 of the soffit and needs to finish it. They are such a menace and so destructive. Any ideas on how to get rid of them? Against the law to shoot them here but it sure is tempting!
This squirrel will keep trying. He will eventually figure out that he can compress the Slinky upward by continuing to climb. When he gets even with the feeder he will jump onto it. Problem solved.
Squirrels can launch themselves over some amazing distances to get to a supply of bird seed.
I spent last Spring and Summer battling squirrels to keep them off my wife's feeder array.
I eventually won by trial and error and observation. It takes as much tenacity as they apply to the problem.
What a great idea! Wonder if it would work if you have a hanging feeder like we do. Probably not, the whole gravity thing and all.
—I hung about 3’ of the splittable dryer vent tube over the iron rod holding up the feeder—keeps both squirrels and chipmunks away-—
Outstanding. One of the few things I’ve seen that really works
good job MetMom,
Thanks for the laugh.
Here in Port Saint Lucie, just waiting for spring training to start.
