Squirrel Raids Bird Feeder - Cyclotron Physicist Builds a Squirrel Cafe

In the spring of the great Coved 19 pandemic, my

's peaceful existence came under attack by the Shirley and Red clan of fox

s. Countermeasures were taken and the game continued as the days moved towards summer. Shirley and Red left, leaving behind a teenage

defense system developed to deter shirley and red, but over time, as he matured, he became bolder, the shield Swivel was tilted forward and flexible, making it easy to use. as a ramp, so I rebuilt it with a rigid wooden frame that was vertical.

The weakling chose to jump slightly to the side of the shield's balance point and quickly turned as designed. Score one for physique. On his next attempt, he turned the shield towards the deer. close, but that was a relatively easy fix for me, as the shaky tale indicates he's ready to step up the action and he really tries as he pushes from the top, the plastic shield breaks and he's on his way to the feeder instead. After fixing the plastic shield, let's see if you can navigate its irregular geometry to your squirrel brain. It seemed like the right side was a good landing point, but it is outside the center line of the shield when there is food.

Squirrels can be very persistent. so there is a method to his madness and on his fourth try he succeeds and it's time for a squirrel breakfast with black oil sunflower seeds while he enjoys the birdseed. I'm designing the next version, how about a rotating plastic bottle to prevent it from being launched from the horizontal stand as many of the design improvements, this one initially showed real promise and had no immediate solution, instead it took a alternative route taking advantage of the basket that hung under the feeder that was used to collect the discarded seeds, of course. if you jump, you have to jump and the deer fence netting is a great landing point.

I removed the basket, so now his only option was to climb up and over the California local jay. He was not a fan of the weak and often let him know that the weak. The training program had prepared him well and he was using his squirrel brain to calculate how to defeat this latest setup. This time he went straight to the balance and made it look easy, so I had one more idea: if one bottle was good, maybe two would be. The best squirrels have incredible jumping ability and when pushed they can jump five feet vertically and at least seven feet horizontally, so in the end he just jumped over both bottles to the top of the shield and before it turned he jumped into the steel channel. and then just to leave it. that

knew who was in charge, he did some push-ups right, it was the end of the road for this ungainly looking contraption, not only had he defeated every version, but he was constantly getting criticism from my wife about how this huge one was a ugly scar in their elegant garden, so I negotiated a new location with the promise of putting something more elegant and, hopefully, more effective.

The first visitor was a morning pigeon who found the new design more to his liking. Limy soon got to work, but he had to deal first. With those morning dubs, the one-five-and-eight-cent diameter pole was small enough for the weakling to shine like a kid in physical education class. This was no surprise and he had ordered a highway approved squirrel shield which was due to be delivered in about a week in the meantime. Could a simple plastic bottle mounted on the pole keep the weakling from eating the birdseed on foggy mornings? The pole was slippery, the plastic bottle was disconcerting and those morning pigeons were irritating, even if the weakling could push the bottle up, it was not an easy task to jump across the pole. gap without a stable launching point, perhaps a few bites of the fruit from the neighbor's pitasurum tree would give him the extra energy to finally reach the bird feeder, finally like a modern tarzan swinging through the jungle, the weakling arrived to the bird feeder.

He didn't know the new squirrel shield had arrived and was guaranteed to stop his birdseed attacks, but the weakling was too funny to fire, so it was up to the workshop to build a squirrel

cafe

, so with the squirrel feeder mounted On the fence, the last step was to replace the bottle guard with an 18 inch diameter cone, surely this would be stylish enough to please the wife and restore domestic tranquility to the garden. The weakling soon became a big fan of the squirrel

cafe

with its expanded menu of walnuts and hazelnuts. almonds and walnuts now he and the birds could feed independently as long as I could provide them with enough food.

Soon the weakling began taking the nuts to the neighbor's garden and burying them, so what can a

do with a squirrel like that?
