      @Filthy I don’t think there is a solution to Birds vs. Squirrels

        Thanks guys. There are solutions to squirrels but I feel guilty about killing them. (Rat traps and guns)

          @Filthy:

          Has anyone ever put hot pepper sauce in their birdseed to deter squirrels before? I don't mind feeding the squirrels too, but they are bullies and chase the birds away. They are really greedy and a pain in the ass. I feel kind of bad harming them and I definitely don't want to hurt the birds. They have a tough enough life as it is, out in the cold.

          Hot pepper does not permanently harm the squirrels, but I’ve found it only temporarily deters them so I generally shy away from using it. If they’re desperate enough, they’ll eat it anyway and put up with the sting. Fun fact: bird food manufacturers have to double the amount of hot pepper in the bird seed every couple years because squirrels quickly evolve to be able to resist the spice.

          The best solution I’ve found is to use the ‘squirrel defender’ feeder. The one downside is that the no-mess food doesn’t cycle through it well. You could probably also use a ‘dinner bell’ feeder but they might figure that out eventually.

            I just buy spicy bird/woodpecker food. Squirrels leave it alone. Amazon

              I might start catching the squirrels and relocate them or something.

                    think of them as tree rats, Mike. Harden your heart  😉

                      I'm probably alone on this, but I think squirrels are great. I'd rather feed them than birds.

                        Yep.

                        In Haraki's words…..

                        "We had promotion events at 2 stores our retailer in Kyushu area.
                        For the event, we did a collaboration with Flat Head and made towels, mugs and key holders. I will send you a few of each.

                        Let me tell you the reason why we did the collaboration. The retailer used to have Flat Head’s only shop. While FH was dead, they started to selling IH. The retail requested to have a joint sales event. So, we did this time."

                        @Anesthetist:

                        Also whatever vest or jacket Haraki wearing, I hope it’s IH!

                        It's a SS22 vest - you asked, we made 🙂

                          One more here. And that video is hilarious. I do have a squirrel feeder, nothing for those dinosaur descendants.

                            @Giles that is really cool and I love the camaraderie. If you guys come up with any spare merch for sale, let me know. That vest will definitely be on my hit list. Thanks for all the info!

                                    Great [mention]Kasi [/mention] I thought you might have done it thanks for sharing the photo. Do you prefer the snap or the button more?

                                            IronHeart made a similar piece called the Boa vest. I had one and it was a great piece but came up a hair short on me.
