Toot

Bad news... I can confirm that the local grey squirrel has developed a tolerance for the spicy bird seed I've been using. Because of the placement and type of feeder, that was the only reasonable line of defense that I had.

I'm hoping that the seed is still spicy enough to make the squirrel eat slowly, which will reduce the losses. I know this is a futile battle—squirrels are very intelligent after all—so if I can reach a compromise with them I'll be satisfied.

@serebit Screw it, maybe soak the seed in a Carolina Reaper sauce?

@w8l I'd have to find one without salt, or it would seriously harm the birds... 😔

@serebit Depending on how desperate you are, find some reapers and make an extract from them. You will need protective gear for this, though.
