Went googling for squirrels... Something funny I found on a message board:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I never realized until we moved out a bit to where there are trees and birds, what a menace to decent society is the common ground squirrel. And no creature matches their diabolically clever ability to empty our birdfeeders onto the ground, and then stuff their little gluttonous maws with our hard-purchased and carried birdseed, and cart off the rest to their dens of iniquity.
No "squirrel-resistant" birdseed protecting device has succeeded in keeping them off for any length of time. The installation of a slippery dome above the feeder has resulted in their current practice of launching themselves sideways from a tree branch, at about a twenty degree down-angle, and landing faultlessly on the feeder, which they then shake back and forth until empty.
Our purchase of a super-soaker (r) pressured water-gun has produced some short-term satisfaction, but they always come back. So when I returned home today, the feeder was again empty.
Curse their furry arses, why Noah saved them is entirely beyond me. They are the living representation of nearly all of the the seven deadly sins.

The replies are
funny too.
