Oh, it's quite a story. See, we have lots of bird feeders, and love to watch the birds come and eat. But whenever we set the birdseed out... THE SQUIRRELS COME!!!! They will knock the feeders off their stands or branches and eat the WHOLE THING. We've tried everything. We tried moving the feeders to higher, thinner branches that won't support their weight... They use it like a fire pole, and slide down it. We've tried hanging them on metals poles, and spraying them with non-stick cooking oil. They manage to scurry up those. We bought a BB gun to scare them off with. They're too stupid to connect being shot in the head with a metal ball to eating the seed. And I even try to shoot them with my bow, but my aim from a second story window is anything but great. So here's another funny mental image for ya, I was standing at the second story window in my bedroom, aiming my bow straight at a squirrel that was trying to get at the seed. And I fired... Unfortunately, the pathway lanterns don't run nearly as fast as the squirrels... You get the picture.
