that pic is really funny. I solved the squirel problem--well, sort of. Have a bunch of ground feeders. When it's really cold and wet, I always feel sorry for all the critters, so I fill the ground feeders with heavier grains, and even nuts. the squirels finally got so fat they were too lazy to to climb up and lay in the feeders all day. Found bargain mixed nuts at wal-mart after Christmas. They did bury quite a few, but I can hardly wait for spring. May get an entire backyard of walmut, filbert, and Brazil nut trees coming up. Now, that would be something. LOL
Oh, I feed the little critters, too. I keep a pan of corn, sunflower seeds and peanuts out on the back porch, and I have a couple of squirrel feeders as well. Sometimes they will go for awhile without bothering the feeders. I have a squirrel guard on one of them. I'll probably end up investing in a couple of the more costly feeder set ups for the sake of keeping at least one good-sized open platform feeder that the squirrels can't get at, and I may add one of those roller gizmo feeders just for pure entertainment watching the little buggers gets tossed on the ground. I've also taken to dumping the excess from one of the feeders on the ground when I fill the feeder. That way, the squirrels and some of the ground feeders get more. I used to try and avoid it because I didn't want a bunch of weeds sprouting up all over the place, but I've pretty much given up on that.
