I am quite happy to feed the squirrels and indded have put additional feed and nuts on the ground but they simply devour or bury that then set about their mass destruction...I simply cant afford to replace feeders at the rate of 3-12 a week unless I can find some squirrel proof ones |

Lol they not daft I will give them that....the metal one they chewed through the bottom. The plastic ones they simply chew away until the bits the birds sit on drop out and all the seeds go onto the lawn...I did find one squirrel proof one but that was also Col proof and I jumped up and down of it out of sheer frustration!!! |
