IVE BEEN PUTTING OUT BIRD FOOD FOR THE SQUIRRELS, BUT THE BIRDS ARE EATING IT.

Put your seed in a plastic trashcan, the squirrels will eat right thru the lid to get the seed...no bird problem

The birds don't know any better. Try putting a sign on it that says it's just for the squirrels. Problem solved.

Spread the bird seed in your attic.

It is called BIRD SEED for a reason.

Now I don't feel so bad. I have put corn out for squirrels and chipmunks and the deer keep eating it. I put a sign up to no avail. Deer can't read where I live.

Gotta admit...kinda embarrassed. Just learned I've been using bird seed the wrong way.

No wonder I couldn't get the darn birds to grow !!!

I thought maybe I was planting the seeds too deep.

You guys are definitely in a class, if not dimension, of your own.
Good stuff!

Well, you are among the minority. If you ask anybody who hunts in the special reg's areas, they will tell you the deer know what those yellow things are on the trees and what they say.

Very true SRC, I do believe they can read but why can't they learn how to cross a road .

 

[WilySpike]

They do at the signs posted for deer crossing areas!

 

[capt rudy]

Good point

 

[surveyor]

Try using squirrel seed

 

[atr]

That can be hard to find
