The reason I ask is I have only seen at the most three squirrels at a time feeding from the seeds under the bird feeders in my backyard, and I was wondering if there was any way to know if these are always, or at least mostly, the same three squirrels coming back over and over and over, living nearby, or do I have ten, twenty, a hundred different squirrels coming from all over the neighborhood to feed from the feeders day after day. I don’t mind them coming, they do no damage to the feeders or the birds. I just want to know, if I name them for fun, am I always seeing the same Larry, Moe, and Curly Squirrel?
I’ve ALREADY TRIED EXPENSIVE “SQUIRREL PROOF”FEEDERS,They just challenge the nasty, Pesty Rodants,& they hang upside down on them or Trash them and That Was $$ Well”WASTED!” I.now have a Broken neck,& enjoy sitting in t/morning and watching the Cardinals, Blue & Brown Jay’s, morning dove’s, Etc.They Each have distinct personalities & are quite Amusing as Well as Beautiful, UNTIL THIS ONE NASTY HUGE RED SQUIRREL RETURNS,EVERY DAY,FOR 3 YRS.NOW,BRINGING HER OFFSPRING!!! I’VE RAN OUT NUMBEROUS TIMES TO CHASE THEM…WHICH W/A C-1 FRACTURE COULD KILL OR PARALIZE ME!! AS SOON AS I’M INSIDE, AND SIT,SHE RETURNS!! I’M NOT GOING TO SET UP A FEEDING STATION FOR HER,BECAUSE MY GOAL IS TO GET HER AND HER NOW 6-7 OFFSPRING TO MOVE ON OUT AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE,I’M HURT,IN PAIN,& OVER IT!!! IT’S STARTING TO UPSET ME!! I “ALREADY”HAVE METAL POLES, Which They Easily Climb or Jump on! I’ve moved The Feeders! Now I CAN’T! AND NO ANSWER ABOUT, WHY WOULD YOU EVEN WANT TO GET RID OF SQUIRRELS!! THEY EAT ALL T/SEED IN MINUTES, CHASE AWAY T/BIRDS,& LEAVE STINKY URINE IN THE BIRD BATHS,THAT WERE 50$ & UP,THAT’S WHY!?! ANY True,Real,Sound Advice on A Home Remedy that I can physically do,would be Greatly Appreciated!!! Thank You for Your Time..L.M
