i left some kibble fBold last night. this morning she came by for more kibble and some peanuts ❤️

the feeders were busy this morning, since birds were scarce while the cooper's was around.

here's how one grey squirrel shakes seeds out of a squirrel buster🙈.

another, larger one, used to actually lift it off the hook and drop it to the ground, until i put something over the hook and attached the loop to a caribiner🫨

i'm telling you, the squirrel challenge is intersubjactive🤔

here's one of the engineers who i may finally have convinced it's not worth the effort.

what you see there is only the tip of the contraption below i've had to improvise. i had to gorilla tape the seams because he was popping the rivets.

unreal.

@holon42 I have one of those baffles under the bird feeder it worked well. Now they dive from the trees to land on the bird feeder. Not sure where to move it they cant jump to either.

@Lucky188

yeah, one managed to jump onto the cone and grab onto the gorilla tape, which is not as slippery as the plastic 🚸🫨

i'm trying the slinky solution next.
