10 April 2020: As expected the U.S. now has the most COVID-19 cases on earth.
We really need a laugh. Squirrels to the rescue.
Watch this bird feeder gave a squirrel a wild ride. He reaches out to grab the feeder pole but misses every time.
I am HOLLERING. Protect the bird feeder at all costs.

If you haven’t laughed enough, here’s a fox squirrel with more staying power. Imagine how dizzy he felt when he landed!
In case you’re wondering, this is Droll Yankee’s feeder called the “Yankee Flipper.”

Are they doing this intentionally or is the feeder designed to do that to prevent squirrels?
The feeder is designed to spin when something heavy lands on it. None of the birds are heavy enough. 🙂
We have one of those! It’s on our deck, but it spins as soon as they put their paws on it! They will eat everything quickly if not deterred! Happy Easter to you and the peregrines.
Crazy, just checked COL cam and it’s sunny. Went to Hays eagle cam and it’s snowing! Spring in tne Burgh.
Does the battery used in Twirl a Squirrel work in below freezing temperatures?
Cheryl, I don’t know. Check the Twirl a Squirrel website

I laughed and laughed, could not stop.
