Birds or Squirrels?

We have a few bird feeders hanging up outside the studio window. Tucked under the eaves, small local birds such as finches or wrens congregate to munch out over seed. There have been a few times when the hawks have come looking for lunch, and crows, too, but the squirrels prove to be the funniest. They try to jump from the red bud tree, but fall far short of the feeder. Other times the squirrels sit on the roof, look down and chatter. A couple of times I have seen them hanging by their back feet to reach the feeder – but all in vain.

Now, here is an erstwhile bird watcher who worked to foil the squirrels conquering his “squirrel proof” bird feeders. Watch how he solved his bird feeding problem and worked hard to overcome the threat of predatory squirrels.

I hope you watched to the end!
