SHIRLEY---I have battled SQUIRRELS for 25 yrs!!---It is a losing battle---have never seen a (SQUIRREL PROOF FEEDER)--they couldn't get in!---Even tried the red pepper thing---(lasted 1 day)-- but as my youngest reminded me a few years back--"god made the squirrels too--mom"---ho!
Well all you fine feather lovin' folks, I've got weeds, dust, plants, bird feeders, pets and a job search that need my attention for a while! Have a great morning everyone!
Good Morning Eagle Eyed Sharon. Sorry they all have gone to the beach. Wouldn't they feel funny if you found someone to dog sit. Then showed up tee hee Sure wished you could have gone too.
Dana ,its Mariah. As in the wind. Still waiting for a hurricane to be named after me. I just dont understand.. its a great name for a hurricane!!! My husband says the same about the squirrels.. drives me crazy, he says that they need to eat too. I buy special food for them, but they had rather have the birds food...
You do have to admire the squirrels. They need to eat too; the thing that really got to me was when this little guy started throwing the seeds on the ground--I guess so he could get to the ones he liked. Ungracious guest! I chased him off for the moment.
May just have to move the food to another spot. It is definitely not a birdproof feeder. It's one of those big fancy blocks from the grocery store.
Thanks Mariah I was worried I was losing it ... well maybe I already have lol
Squirrels--I know they can be pesky but when you see their little ones. It all falls into place. They used to have 2 litters a summer over our shed. Loved watching and feeding them. A tree with a very small branch won't keep them away from feeder. We had a mulberry tree and watching them go to the very end of the branches. Was so funny cause you would see the branch bending slowiy to the ground....they got their berries though.

I don't have any large trees near my house anymore. Lost one to Hurricane Isabel and one to another storm a few years later. They were good locations for bird feeders.
Norma, Thanks to Tammy I got your message of yesterday. I am doing much better now. Doctors have put me on two new meds and I am breathing much better. I only have a few hummers so far this year but here's a photo for you from a few years ago.
We put Mei and Tian together in the yards this morning. All went as expected with lots of playing/eating/resting. For now, we will be putting them together in the early mornings and separating them by the late morning feeding. They may not be put together every day…it depends on staffing/tours/ curator on duty/workmen etc
will some one send me some hummers... i have done everything i know to do.. got some pretty red mandevillas, geraniums,petunias.. i just think my feeder isnt right, or i need to send up a red flag. we are kinds in a hole
feeding time at FINNEY'S NEST......same message at FINLAND'S NEST.....The correction at the earliest at the end of June. ........hope so, really miss the FINLAND NEST,.

Good Morning Lolly ( :
I know you are enjoying your camping time. Did you do you hike yet?
I sincerely thank everyone for these continued prayers (((((hugs to all of you))))).
Played the bluebird again and George ran to the window. Too bad I can't train him to chase away squirrels and leave the birds alone.

Good morning, the sun is shining, but not for long. We have a heat advisory for today, you need to be careful if you are outside for long.

Once we put a metal sheet around a tree and greased it, but then I felt sorry for the squirrels because they fell off the tree.

Hidey just appeared.
I think Hidey just brought in a fish! :)
Trying to walk with food on talon.
I guess Hidey has been fishing.
Well, this is a monumental day if Hidey caught her own fish!!
Hidey is enjoying his / her catch.
At least we can hope Hidey caught this one.
No squealing. Polite Hidey. Does this mean parents are not around?
Norma, Thanks to Tammy I got your message of yesterday. I am doing much better now. Doctors have put me on two new meds and I am breathing much better.
I only have a few hummers so far this year but here's a photo for you from a few years ago.
Hummers
Mei Xiang, and Tian Tian are together again
FYI,
We put Mei and Tian together in the yards this morning. All went as expected with lots of playing/eating/resting. For now, we will be putting them together in the early mornings and separating them by the late morning feeding. They may not be put together every day…it depends on staffing/tours/ curator on duty/workmen etc
oh my goodness. did you see the parent fly into the nest and Hidey protect he/r food..I was laughing out loud.. that was funny
I heard the squeals from upstairs. Hidey not about to share.
