The mature female has become exasperated with the amount of birdseed the squirrels are eating. It is appalling. They'll eat as much as she can put out--pounds a week, if provided to them. They are hanging on the feeders all the time, and the desirable birds cannot get a toe-hold. In fact, the birds had practically given up--even the juncos, who are hardy and persistant. Early this week, she returned from the garden store with a big bag of sunflower hearts, coated with jalepeno pepper powder, called "Cajun Cardinal". She filled the feeders and then we got to watch the show. Several squirrels came running, leaped on the feeders, and got a big surprise! When it comes to profanity, nothing can beat a squirrel.
