Slippery Squirrel

Robert Krampf and his wife Nancy love to have birds in their garden, so they set up a bird feeder. But a nearby squirrel quickly realized where he could get free dinner. Their solution to stop the pesky squirrel was genius: They greased the pole to the feeder.

Enjoy!

The Rock Squirrel has been raiding our bird feeder, carrying away pounds of seed. Nancy figured a quick solution. I don’t know which is funnier, the squirrel or Nancy’s narration.

For anyone who is concerned about the squirrel, he still raids our other two feeders and the vegetable garden. The tiny amount of Vaseline used is non-toxic, the kind used for lip balm. He quickly learned that this feeder was not worth the trouble, so we have not put more on the pole, and the birds are delighted to actually get some of the bird seed.
