She shines with her own kind of light.

I came up with a solution once that worked pretty well.

Mr. mm hung the bird feeder from a branch with pretty heavy gauge wire and those suckers would just grab the wire with their front paws and slide down it and land on top of the feeder and just about empty it.

So I took a clear, 2 liter soda bottle and cut the bottom off it and threaded the wire up through the top and it hung down over the bird feeder.

Well, sure enough a tree rat comes along, slides down as usual and I hear this loud TWANG and I look outside the bird feeder is swinging back and forth and the squirrel is nonchalantly sitting on the ground eating some seed as if nothing happened.

They never did figure out how to get past it as far as I remember. Probably siliconing the wire on occasion would have helped as they would not be able to slow down their progress on the wire.

She looks at you once in a day, it’s all wrong, it’s all right.

I tried a slinky years ago. It baffled the squirrels for a few days, then they figured it out.
