Pictures From My Smart Bird Feeder

[Medusa]

In the meantime, the hot seed has just arrived so when husband wakes up from his nap he will load the feeder and we'll see how it works. Fingers crossed.

Husband is also envisioning something with chicken wire to deter them if the hot seed isn't enough.

I don't have pictures yet today as they have all been of squirrels.

Oh, Yay! Just got this from the feeder. She's back and her little crest is up.


This is the first not-a-squirrel picture I've received today. I'm so happy to see her.

I'm glad you got this one today.
Kinda makes it all worthwhile, right?

A reward for your efforts and your patience.

Can the birds eat spicy seeds? It won't hurt them?

It doesn't bother the birds and they don't taste it.

People need to handle it carefully, not to get it in our eyes.

Dogs? I don't know.

I'm loving this thread you guys! I lol and husband wonders what I'm reading.

Can't feed our birds here anymore. Mice, which to me are terrifying, sadly won that war.

Yes, it's definitely worth it.
We didn't get to put the hot seed in today because it's been rainy all day. So, tomorrow, hopefully. I'm anxious to see how well it works.

It doesn't hurt the birds at all. The pepper oil is only effective on mammals so the birds can eat it with not problems.

So true! Husband needs to wear mask, gloves and even goggles wouldn't be a bad idea.

I think it would hurt our Lucius if he got into it so, we need to be careful to keep him away. The feeder isn't in a place he usually goes so it shouldn't be too difficult to keep him away, especially as he's never outside while not on leash.

I would laugh if your hubby hit the squirrel with nerf and the squirrel chucked an acorn at his head. Lol!
