Bird-loving Americans share a common problem: squirrels! These fast,
greedy, incredibly crafty, fluffy-tailed rodents pillage birdfeeders
before owners' very eyes. For 25 years Outwitting Squirrels has been
leading the charge to help bird lovers defend their feeders. This
classic defense manual for the besieged birder has been fully updated to
deal with the more tech-savvy 21st-century squirrel. It provides 101
cunning strategies, both serious and hilarious, for outsmarting these
furry but not so cute creatures. Adler discusses the different bird
personalities and the best seed to attract them. He rates birdfeeders
based upon how squirrel-proof or squirrel-vexing they are and discusses
creative antisquirrel structures and devices. Spooker poles, Perrier
bottles, baffled fishing line, Teflon spray, Vaseline, water bombs,
cayenne pepper, and Nixalite - the author has tried them all, and here
he regales intrepid bird feeders with his squirrel-thwarting adventures
and misadventures.
