Libby.. I was listening to a gardening show this morning on the radio while I was sewing..and I think they mentioned this Squirrel Away stuff.

I think they said if you use it, that you will lose your ground feeder birds.. Check the label and see what it says. I don't recall if they said it was harmful to the birds or not..

Just a thought. ;)

No, it is not harmful to birds. In fact, it gives them extra vitamins. It is based on capsicin peppers which the birds have no ability to taste or perceive as hot. Squirrel Away The squirrels don't like it. I won't treat all of it, but I will try it and see what happens. I also use some of the seed cakes which I can't treat with the powder anyway. There is a spray available, but I don't have that at this point. Also, I don't seem to need it for the tube feeders. Thanks Gran. I'll keep you posted how it goes.
