They used to eat all of the birdseed at my parent's house. They had to buy a special anti-squirrel birdfeeder to stop it.

Dave Winfield. It's the little known reason Steinbrenner had it in for Winfield. George loves seagulls. |

Did they quickly learn there's no such thing? My mom has been buying those for years, and finally realized it wasn't worth it and it was better to be entertained by watching the squirrels figure out new ways to get at the feed.

And, unlike Ty, Winfield had a killer arm.

It doesn't work perfectly, but it slows them down. I think they have the one with the cone-shaped roof over it, which makes it difficult to climb down to access.
These are midwestern squirrels we're talking about. Unsophisticated country bumpkin squirrels.
ETA: the real challenge is getting rid of the geese on the shore of the river in their back yard. Those fuckers shit everywhere. And they're mean. One chased after my 3-year old nephew. Of course, we thought it was hilarious...before we realized he was really scared.
Then we thought it was even funnier.
