Abs of Steel

We have a Yankee Whipper "squirrel proof" feeder from Droll Yankees out here at work. Squirrel Proof? Back to the drawing board. The squirrels have figured it out. They slide down the outside and then catch the bottom with their back feet. They then do crunches to bring themselves up to the other side to feed.

This has to be one of the most ab intensive ways to get lunch. What a workout!

  2. I see an opportunity here to combat the obesity epidemic! I shall install one in my dining room immediately :) Although, eating casserole that way may be a bit messy...

     
  3. I can't help admiring the inventiveness and creativity of squirrels.

  5. I think they are pretty ingenious too. This is actually the second way they found to defeat this feeder.
