Squirrel breaks into squirrel-proof bird feeder

A young grey squirrel – using all the flexibility and ingenuity of his species – demonstrates how to get round a supposedly squirrel-proof bird feeder.

The squirrel had somehow managed to slip between the narrow bars of the protective cage and although it was a bit cramped there was sufficient space to enjoy the peanuts inside.

“I had just put out the feeders filled with peanuts for the Blue tits and Great tits but the squirrel moved in very quickly,” he said.

“We do have Grey Squirrels here but they usually feed on the seed on the ground. I have seen them trying to break into the cage before but until now they have never succeeded.

I think I still like the RollerFeeder idea.

Marco Pierre White Is Cooking Squirrel

TV chef Marco Pierre White…came to the Somerleyton Estate, near Lowestoft, to create an original dish from local produce for his new series, Marco’s Great British Feast.

He said: “I was surprised to discover that squirrel is considered a delicacy in certain parts of the UK and quite widely eaten. Having tried it I can see why.

“We tend to be squeamish about eating this small mammal but, when you think about it, it’s no different to eating rabbit.”

The meal – squirrel with walnuts – was cooked in the kitchens at the estate’s award-winning Fritton House hotel where the fruit of the day’s shoot was also made into a squirrel and mushroom pie.
