Dangling

Undeterred by the rain Roger has taken to eating peanuts today. They wouldn't be his first choice but the bird seed needs replenishing. Mind you, it's mainly his fault that it does! I'm rather attached to Roger but I'm feeling a bit that we are feeding him at the expense of the birds. One of my work colleagues advised putting chilli powder on the bird seed as a squirrel deterrent: apparently it doesn't bother our feathered friends but Sciurus carolinensis hates it. Call me soft but I thought a good compromise might be to just put chilli on one of the feeding stations...
