Neurotic, Impotent Rage!

Pick posted:

it's already cold and it's going to get WAY colder here tonight/tomorrow so I wish I could talk to animals

because there's this loving squirrel I hate who is always on my loving porch being a loving douchebag seriously this squirrel is the worst but if I could talk to him I'd tell him that JUST this time I will let him in the house and I won't hurt him, I'll just let him come in and tide this thing over, maybe even eat some of the birdseed from my bag of birdseed. like I completely revile this loving squirrel but I don't want him dead, you know?

leave your door open so he can come in and you guys can die together

What did the squirrel do to make you hate him so much?

He steals from my birdfeeder and also he sometimes rifles through my potted plants hiding acorns like a little poo poo.

gently caress the squirrel. Let it freeze. I only got three... THREE! of my nectarines this season because of those loving furbags. And they're not even the kind you can legally kill.

Also he does that thing where he freezes when he sees me like I'm not looking STRAIGHT at him like he thinks I can't see him or I'm stupid or something, the squirrel is basically insulting me.

My neighborhood fills up with crows every fall and winter. It's kind of amazing watching the sky go black when they fly to their roosts for the night, but man they're loud. And lol if you have to park underneath one of their preferred trees.

I don't understand the "it's stealing from the birdfeeder!" thing. I mean yeah it's a birdfeeder but hey squirrels need food in the winter too. And they're a lot cuter/funnier than birds.

Anyway, my dad loves having birdfeeders so his solution was to just put out a squirrel feeder too and they stay away from the birdseed now. It's pretty simple, just like a board with a corncob on it and stuck to a tree. So now they get birds, squirrels and rabbits (from veggies they put in the yard) to watch. :3:

You could put pepper in the bird seed. Birds can't sense capsaicin and don't give a poo poo about it, but squirrels can.

when i was a kid this massive flock of bats would fly over our property every evening at twilight and they made such an outrageous noise it was so cool. a shitload of bats live in the sydney botanical gardens so if you watch the 9:30 nye fireworks on tv you can see all of them wake up, freak out and fly away in a huge swarm when the fireworks start

That's the purpose of "heat" in stuff like peppers: to keep stupid mammals from eating it so the birds can eat them instead and fly around dispersing the seeds. I don't know if it's all birds though, might want to check on that beforehand. :v:
