I like bears — on TV.

Well, that’s the problem....If you feed one....you’ll probably feed all....

Like most wild animals (except raccoons) bears run for their lives at the least sound from humans.....

Easy. Just put it in the feeder.

No care, no water, and no work.

My back lawn is sprouting corn, sunflower, rye, barley, and weird grasses.

Yep.

I made a pie pan feeder so I can identify the birds as they sit around and eat the feed.

Just had a phone call to inform me the dung beetles in Panama also have some sort of complaint. They are also going to hire Greg Craig.

By golly, you need bug spray.

No. There is something called “Revolution” which kills roachs in the nest. It is made in Arizona. It comes in a tube. It is not cheap. It comes down to you or them.

Very effective indeed.

Revolution works.

My wife is a cat collector.

I will attest to it working.

Huh....we had the opposite result....

You probably have ordinary squirrels in your yard. Ever since the radiation leak, my squirrels don't take no crap. Here's what they did to the lid on my garbage cart when I dared to keep it closed.

We went back to the steel cans with heavy wire on the handles to keep the critters out.....

Our 5th district congressional representative Steve King uses a .50 cal Desert Eagle handgun to get rid of porch varmints and seems to have good success with it.

‘Possums has to eat too... :)

you could live trap him and move him to another area. We had a Raccoon that was getting into our chicken coop and eating the eggs. We live trapped her and the original plan was to have barbecued Raccoon. This young lady Raccoon however was so sincere in her ‘pleading’ for her life that we just couldn’t. So we drove her to a state park about twelve miles away and set her free. She never came back and I still think of her once in a while. She had the ability to communicate with her facial expressions more than any other wild animal I had ever come across.

"...that’s all the little buggers seem to want to eat..."

Roger that. I put out a seed mix and they pick through and take what they want, and leave the seeds they consider unappealing.

Do birds even have taste buds?

It will be very fulfilling to electrocute your mother's neighbors. It has been a dream of mine for a long while...Keep us posted on the outcome!

We have the most slovenly finches and sparrows in this part of the country down here. Seed flies all over the joint. They must be having food fights in those things out there

Actually, they just dig through what they don't like to get to the good stuff.

Millet eaters are mostly ground feeders anyway.
