Squirells check in.. but they don't check out.

The birdfeeder of death...

My dad was mowing the lawn today and noticed an offending odor when passing a green birdfeeder that we have mounted on a post in the lawn.

it is one of the ones with the weight system on it so that it shuts when something large like a squirell or blue jay get on to it.

upon closer inspection he noticed fur.. and a foot protruding from the seed holes.

apparently a squriell had figured out how to get into the birdfeeder.... but never figured the "out" part out... and died in there.

I guess it's got to be the squirell equalivalent of a guy drowning in beer.

BTW- great thread title.

Fish · 08-19-2004, 05:31 PM

thanks.. initally when I was walking to my room after hearing my dad tell the story.. I was thinking birdfeeder of death..

but then the present topic line jumped to mind..

a subject line can make the difference in a good thread... and a dead one.

Did the birds continue to feed out of the feeder?

likely..

don't know for sure, I am not much of a bird watcher.
didn't pay attention.

if they did.. they all have blood lust now.
they're off hunting squirells.. because I can't say I've seen one in the last few days.

Wow. I need to install some of those bird feeders around my house, so those damned squirrels will stop trying to burrow into my attic...

strider98 · 08-19-2004, 07:39 PM

that's funny and all, but you know some bleeding heart is gonna sue the company that makes them when something similar happens

Fish · 08-19-2004, 07:59 PM

We were talking about this over dinner.

apparently to open this bird feeder you have to squeeze two tabs to lift the top, the only way you could fit a squirell inside..

it must have taken said squirell a long time to figure this out...
too bad squirells aren't very good about thinking ahead.

we just put a dent in squirell evolution by killing off one of the smartest ones..
