The squirrels have upped the ante in the war of control of the bird feeders. Yesterday, they destroyed my home bird feeder, chewing through three separate plastic straps to topple the already-plundered feeder. I whistled to myself when I saw those three straps on the ground next to the upside-down feeder, still hanging by its sole remaining strap.
The news from the work front isn’t much better. I drove up to see my feeder in its now-familiar place on the ground, only this time there was one suction cup still hanging from the window. It seems a heavy (or desperate) squirrel ripped the cup right off of its screw. Bastards!
Now I’m watching a constant stream of birds show up for a meal that isn’t available. They’ve been betrayed by the squirrels.
I’ve got to figure out some better countermeasures or the terrorists, er … the squirrels will win.
