I feed everything. My feeders need to be filled almost everyday. I feed the squirrels so my dogs have something to chase. They stay entertained for a long time watching the squirrels. They have never caught a squirrel but they sure do get excited.

It's squirrels here that do the damage. It's become something of a national pastime trying to outwit the furry blighters.
People rig up all sorts of obstacle courses trying to stop them getting to the feeders. I don't mind feeding them but I get thoroughly vexed at them eating their way into them or simply stealing the smaller ones and running off with them.

Cute and crafty little fellas! I was feeding the chipmunks at the cottage peanuts. I walked down to the corner store and they had the door propped open for the breeze. You guessed it, a little chipmunk came right in through the door to help himself. I guess he figured he'd go right to the source and eliminate the middle man.

I have a friend who saw a video the other day on FB or a squirrel trying to go up a pole to a bird feeder. The guy smeared it with Vaseline. My friend took metal sheeting and wrapped his wooden pole to the feeder. Being his job as a welder he welded the sheeting to a smooth finish. Then smeared it with Vaseline. He no longer has a problem with squirrels or chipmunks.
