Sadly the birds have lost out.
If you want some fun ... buy your squirrels a Squngee
... Best. Entertainment. Ever!!!!!!
You'll love it and so will the squirrels!!
Just be careful and wary ... the little varmints can crawl into cracks you won't see and thus into your home. Also, they can tear thru window screen as well as animal proof screening and come into your home. (yes, I have learned that lesson and now have heavy steel screen on my kitchen windows ... not as pretty, but at least I don't live quite so much in fear of their invasion)
No longer do I care for squirrels ... though can appreciate the fun you have in watching and feeding them.
I hear you. They are cute to watch but they eat all the fruit off my trees , get in the gardenand and eat stuff . We also had a pair of racoons take up residence in our attic. Dh bought a couple of cage traps and relocated them out in the country (we back up to a golf course so we have lots of "urban wildlife" ) Don't know if it is legal to relocate ,but they would have just tried to get back in and they can be VERY determined. No way could we kill them we are such animal lovers
