Raiders of the Lost Birdfeeder!



This is by far the fattest squirrel I have ever seen and its mate is just as porky. No wonder, seeing they spend all day stuffing themselves with my expensive bird seed! Squirrels, parakeets, jays and woodpeckers, they're all at it. The little birds hardly get a look in! One of th squirrels (I bet it was the female) worked out how to unscrew the tops of the feeders. I looked out the other morning and two of them had vanished. They were on the ground, empty. Now my partner has drilled holes in the tops and inserted a nail, though the furry fiend got one of those out, too, so I have had to twine rubber bands round them - which now bear traces of tooth marks.
