"Three Fat Squirrels, Three Fat Squirrels, See How They Eat, See How They Eat..."

Two of the Three Fat Squirrels

We thought the squirrels were hibernating, but no, they're back and stuffing themselves on the birdseed that falls from the feeders.

Cindy tried using a squirrel repelling additive in the seed, containing rosemary oil, mint oil, cinnamon oil and putrescent egg white because it's is supposed to discourage the squirrels without harming the birds, but you wouldn't know it from these guys.  They're wolfing it down like there's no tomorrow.

With the theft of the False Sea Onion, the damage to the leaves of the citrus tree and consumption of the rosemary, mint and cinnamon-laced seed, these varmints are living large, and getting fatter by the minute.

Worse yet they, or some other varmints, are apparently developing a serious taste for exotic dinner fare.

If they keep this up, Cindy may be tempted to haul out the old shooting iron and make them into an ingredient in some real Brunswick stew.
