Maybe some chili-oil on the feeder? Capsaicin tastes hot to most mammals (some exceptions in individuals as well), but birds are unaffected.

That's a great photo Hreow. I love all wildlife too, don't think I ever ever seen a red squirrel in its natural habitat though.

I thought it was rather weird to see squirrels running around the streets of Chicago, in between all the apartment blocks and stuff.
I do like them though.

They do so much damage though, this one has eaten the perches already and he has only been twice to my knowledge. Every Grey Squirrel less, is a help to the Native Red Squirrel.

Re: That has got to be the biggest sparrow... (non-cat)


As some of you know, I loathe and detest squirrels (we call them tree rats!) for the damage they do in the garden destroying plantings, digging up bulbs, eating produce just when it's almost ripe....UGH!! But I have foiled them at the bird feeder!! Wasted money on 3 different ones that were supposed to be squirrel proof but weren't; finally have one that IS!! Ta Da!!!
