She's about to have another brood (if that's the right word).<BR/><BR/>When the babies were really young it seemed cute to keep feeding them. Now they come and DEMAND......Wait for it...Cream biscuits. When did that happen?<BR/>They also eat the soft white bread we put out for the birds. It seems like there's nothing they don't eat now. Including little squares of cheese put out for the blue tits and finches.<BR/><BR/>They still seem a lot cuter than the rats who have started breeding in the SQUAT next door though.<BR/>Enjoy your walks, and take care,<BR/><BR/>Pete.Pete Moring.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16133016970535564377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659809117173257164.post-1632884048450016482008-05-12T15:24:00.000-04:002008-05-12T15:24:00.000-04:00We managed to find a very effective squirrel baffl...We managed to find a very effective squirrel baffle. It is a long, flat topped cylinder with no bottom. The cylinder is about 18 inches tall. It is placed about half way up the pole where we hang 3 bird feeders. The squirrels are able to climb up the pole into the cylinder, but they can't get over it or around it. It doesn't stop them from hanging around, but it does stop them from emptying the feeders. This great baffle has turned my sqirrels into ground feeders - I like them a lot better that way :o)The Nature Nuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14652487817522885503noreply@blogger.com
