Battle of the Species



So when Grandma Cheri was here we got a bird feeder. Can you guess who is eating the bird seed?
This is Marin's BIRD feeder and she is defending it with water, and yelling.
And a sign--"NO SQUIRRELS ALLOWED!"





 Would you like to know who is winning the battle? Well first they removed the lid from the bucket that held the seed. Folks let me just tell you this is not an easy lid to get off the bucket, in fact we used to use it for our dirty cloth diapers several years ago, it was chosen because it would not let any smell sneak out...ITS REALLY TIGHT!!! Well once we realized it was the squirrels that were removing the lid we set something very heavy on the lid, so they chewed up the rim of the lid, you can see all the white bits of the lid and the black bits are the sealant rubber for the lid...

And finally when we did not add any seed to the feeder the squirrels took their final revenge and broke the string on the feeder.

Marin is so mad at them...

and Owen doesn't care.
