Yes, squirrels are pests, and the speed at which they empty bird feeders can be infuriating, but how can you hate such a cute little critter?

Lisa at Greenbow said...: When they come in masses. We had 13 in our garden at the feeders at one time. Then they become pests.; 3:36 PM, March 13, 2016
Marvin said...: That's true, Lisa. The concentration of squirrels in some urban areas is probably greater than out in the boonies where we live. Maybe because we also have more predators.; 7:19 PM, March 13, 2016

Marvin said...: "Devil's Henchman" could be appropriate too. We spent years trying to fabricate different ways of keeping squirrels out of our bird feeders before finally surrendering. We finally decided that we could not have the feeders where we wanted (i.e. where we could see and enjoy the birds) without feeding the squirrels too.; 7:10 PM, March 14, 2016
