Hey Vance, a tip for the squirrel problem…I read you can add ground up hot peppers to your birdseed. The OC only affects mammals. The squirrels will figure out real quick that their mouth burns whenever they try to eat the bird food. It doesn’t bother the birds at all, and actually it’s good for them, because it adds some extra vitamins to their diet. I’ve seen commercially made versions of this, but you can easily make your own with some ground up peppers added to the feeder. It might be entertaining watching the squirrels taste hot peppers for the first time. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
