The birds are slow about returning to the feeders on the “feeding station.” However, the squirrels (three at one time) love it!! That cage is supposed to stop the greedy little critters. “Nope!!” Two feeders are now in my living room because black oil sunflower seeds are too expensive for those little gluttons. (Some… but not all.)
No pictures of the holes in my yard–and the field–where armadillos have rooted around for earthworms and grubs.

I’m not complaining. I love birds and animals in my front yard.

Postscript, 4:00 PM: Now **this** is amusing. I sprayed WD-40 on the “trunk” and “limbs” of the feeding station in hopes I could discourage the squirrels. “Yup!!” It was hilariously funny to watch a squirrel slide down. It has been a long time since I laughed so hard.
Three Quarters & Counting 
Back in the dark ages of blogging – ten, twelves ago a fellow early blogger and friend of mine in Pennsylvania was so terrorized by squirrel so eventually moved from her otherwise dream rental. It’s a bit of an Internet tradition, to be squirreled 😉
‘Round here the solution to keeping the squirrels out of the birdboxes is to feed the squirrels.
