My daugter took down the bird feeder from the tree and hung it on the shepherd's crook in the back yard this afternoon.
I looked out of the window half an hour later, and this is what I saw:
That's Fatso, our resident squirrel, hanging upside down from the feeder. The first picture shows him grabbing seed, the second one shows him eating it.
He stayed there for a while, hanging like that....until I rapped on the window because he'd thrown half the seed out onto the grass.
I think that the squirrel on the ground under him is his chick - I don't know if squirrels pair-bond, but wherever Fatso is, this other one is - and we busted them getting it on under the carport yesterday.
Grr! Squirrels!
