Squirrel wars

We love birds (well, the cute ones really). We enjoy feeding them and watching them. We encourage them to visit our backyard, but those squirrels! What hogs! We don't wanna hurt the critters, just keep them off of our bird feeders. This blog describes some of our experiences in squirrel proofing our backyard. Not necessarily in chronological order.

Imagine a backyard facing a wilderness area. Lots of wildlife. Birds, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons, even the occasional skunk and coyote. Technically in town, but in reality at the edge. The perfect place to live.

So once we found this idyllic place, we of course decided to put up some bird feeders so that we could enjoy our colourful little friends.
