Well, I read from the backcover of Bill Adler, Jr. Outwitting Squirrels: 101 Cunning Stratagems to reduce drammatically the egregiouis misappropriation of seed from your bird feeder by squirrels. "Birdloving Americans face a common enemy: the squirrel. This fact, crafty, increidbly greedy creature casts our pleasures to the wind, brings his buddies to lunch, and pilages our birdfeeders before our very eyes! Here, at last, is the answer, OUTWITTING SQUIRRELS is a defense manual for besieged feeders of birds. Spooker poles, Perrier bottles, baffled fishing line, Vaseline, water bombs, cayenne pepper, and Vixalite -- author Billl Adler Jr has tried them all -- well, nearly all. In addition, he rates popular birdfeeders, discusses specialty seed, profiles the enemy, and regles the reader with squirrel adventures and misadventures, many of them his own."
