Tail of Two Feeders

This is the backyard bird feeder. We gots a new one in perfect condition but Pawpa likes this one better. Maybe its cuz this one gots a tail; it gots one most everyday. We gots two baffles below the feeder to .. um .. deter squirrel access. See how well it works? GRRRRRR. There's perches on both sides thats been replaced 76 grrrr-zillion times. The roof is all chewed up. (Noooo, it wasn't me, the Gizmeister! I'm too short) My guess is squirrel as the bear that comes here knows how to get it open...just bend the pipe and hurl the feeder to the ground. Good thing we gots a spare!

You can't trust a squirrel, they are sneaky.

We've got several feeders with tails here too!!!
Wish Sassy would get home and chase all those tails off!

Gee Giz, aren't those varmints so clever and smart?! It's like we're giving them an agility contest to get to the birdseed! GRRRR is right!

Morning Gizzy,
Keeping the squirrels off your feeders is more work than one little short guy can do. When I see a squirrel on my deck or in y yard, I sit at my back door with my tail just waggin a bit on the tip at the same time my mouth opens just a tad and I make a throaty chripping noise...but it doesn't work so I just take a nap.Madi
