The squirrels around here must have to use one of those carts when they go to the squirrel shopping mall, since their asses are so huge from eating out of the bird feeder.

Squirrels - chicken of the trees.

They fill their cheeks and store it in a stump somewhere like a welfare queen.

Stir a little habanero sauce into the bird feed, let dry and then fill feeder. Birds will not care and squirrels will leave. I put some on the top of my cracked corn bucket the squirrels were chewing and solved the problem.

Yes.

I fill them with about a cup of Pepperridge Farms sage stuffing. Bake about 30 minutes at 350°F.

Tasty.

There is one squirrel in my neighborhood that I swear is the size of a small cat. A normal squirrel running on the roof has a light tapping sound, this SOB makes a thump. It even tries to fight my golden retriever.

I'm going to have to try this to keep the damn tree rats down.

At my house, they would just jump from the ground to the feeder.

I had a fat squirrel, and I mean fat, at my house in Maine. I would see him and his buddies run up a tree in the back corner by the cornfield and I swear this guy would get to the lowest branch, stop to catch his breath, stick up his paw and say "No guys really, keep going, I'll catch up..."

I've got a chestnut tree in my yard. When the nuts get ripe, the squirrels apparently come from miles around. They have hard hats and scaffolding and boom lifts and signs to redirect traffic. When then sun sets they turn on little fucking squirrel halogen work lights.

Wait for it.... wait for it....

Thoughts on squirrels:

1] They have a good sense of smell

2] They must really stink

Reasoning:

I throw a handful of peanuts into the garden. The squirrel on the telephone pole pays me no mind, and goes on eating buds off the tips of my Japanese maple. After about half a minute, allowing time for the peanut smell to travel throughout the air, he/she becomes squirrelly, running this way and that, until he alights upon the peanuts in the garden.

When the squirrel drinks from the water bowl, the outside porch cat generally avoids the water bowl, preferring the inside water bowl. I figure the cat does not like the smell of the water after the squirrel has been to the water bowl. Back in the day, when several cats were supported on my porch, they all drank. Water bowl = neutral ground, no fighting. Now only one cat + squirrels, and there is a different behavioral pattern. Conclusion: Cat thinks squirrel is stinky.

My grandpa used to feed the squirrels and now my dad does. They come up to his back sliding door and knock on the window if there are no peanuts on the back porch.

The rodent population has been exploding recently due to a record acorn drop in 2015. Good time to be a tree rat.

With 4 feral outdoor cats, I don't see many squirrels.

The squirrels in my yard scream and run away when they see me. I HATE SQUIRRELS!
