Squirrel Admonishment

[Billhook]

After he gnawed through the strap holding the metal cap down, I replaced it with a chain so he gnawed the top of the post nearly through to the Tek bolt so it wasatthis stage I decided to have a word in his ear.  He relaxes his body to enter the feeder but with the stolen nuts and fright of seeing me he cannot relax easily to escape

 

 

This made no difference as he was back inside the  next day!

"Whack-a-mole" !

[Billhook]

This was the result of his endeavours!

Just trap and kill the little shitbag. 

 

I wish people were less tolerant of grey squirrels. Almost all new hardwood plantation I see has been completely destroyed by them.

Catapult n pebbles on back window ledge. They know their not welcome.  K

"Tree Rats" says it all.

And they must throw off some dog-enticing scent, go since I witnessed our 2 Spaniel/Daschund crosses frantically criss-crossing and following a ground trail, while Mr Grey scurried away 40' overhead.

Poor old Sammy Squirrel!   He has a lot of human characteristics. 

He is very destructive, like us he destroys trees for his own use

But like us he does plant the seeds again. 

He nicks eggs from bird's nests, we nick eggs from hens. 

He is very territorial

He is very disobedient

He is a good tree climber like some of us.

He is good at scolding from a distance, a bit like us on the internet.

He is good at problem solving  (Maybe they ought to have some in Westminster!)

 

Lead would be an obvious answer but we have a truce with all creatures in our garden, this is not the case on the farm but the government has managed to do that with the shooting ban!
