I put a roof on my bird feeder; failed - you recall they dangled and devoured; then I strung it down an extra 6 inches with a coat hanger. The squirels dangled at it THEN FELL TO THE GROUND as the wire was too thin. SUCCESS? well I felt good and giggled? THEN They attacked the 'squirrel proof suet', not so much that they ate but they prevented the birds from eating.
SO I GOT SOME CORN for them, a peace offering (very pilgrim, right).
Check the claws on these creatures, click twice on the picture (then back arrow to the page) and watch the video, the sun was wrong, but this worked
hit play a few times.
