11 Ever Hopeful

Boulder, CO

No matter how many times this guy (or his many friends) tries to get into that bird feeder, he never succeeds. He does, however, suck seeds (the birds are messy eaters, and leave lots of them on the ground for the squirrels to hoover up).

I was looking at this on my phone when a cousin of his appeared outside, striking what could best be described as a begging pose.

A couple of insulators, bare wire and a old neon light sign ballast which outputs 15 to 20 thousands volts will discourage him. Paul

Thanks Traveller. I forgot to mention that this was taken through my front window. By the time I got outside, he had shimmied down the pole.

A nice capture of a great pest. When I lived in MN, I hung a number of bird feeders. I was forever in battles with the squirrels who never gave up. This is one of the better squirrel guards I have seen.
