Everytime I put nuts out in the garden to feed the birds, my nuts get stolen by pesky squirrels. Does anyone know of any deterrents to prevent my nuts being violated by troublesome rodents.? Thanks

HELP!!!!! My nuts are under attack?
Who should I marry?
I love Cats, Gardening, Art, Baking, Bible study, Being in the Yard and outside. I feed birds, squirrels, and other animals. I do calligraphy, read bibles and books relating to it daily. And my music choice is not too modern. Between DooWop and Funk or early 90′s music. Yet when it comes to women. I meet Party Animals. Sexually driven. Women who can’t sit still and want to be at Concerts, and places. I don’t like any sports. And when it comes to TV I’ll look at HGTV, PBS, TLC, Discovery, Food Network, DIY, and all the Church stations.
I have found some women who like gardening. some cat people, some church people, some who like to bake and cook. But none who were all or most of that. I’m thinking I may as well call it Quits and adopt a few more cats.

Starlings are taking over my backyard birdfeeder…?
I have a backyard birdfeeder, and want to know how to attract different birds than I am getting. I am using mixed feed, also have a suet feeder, and I put out corn for the squirrels and birds.For the first couple of weeks, there were a couple of house finches and a downy woodpecker, along with cardinals, sparrows, doves, blue jays, grackles and juncos. But now, it seems the starlings are taking over. They’ve figured out how to eat out of the feeder, as well as from the suet, and run the smaller birds off. I wouldn’t mind feeding them too if they weren’t such bullies. The juncos are gone for the year, but I haven’t seen the woodpecker or finches for awhile. I plan to get a finch feeder, but is there anything else I can to to encourage different birds to come?

Squirrels spin on the Bird Feeders in the Back yard
We have one feeder with cayenne pepper and food, the one on the left, and the other one on the right with just bird food. The birds do not care about the pepper, but the squirrels do not like it. The Yankee Droll feeders shown have a battery powered motor to further convince them to leave. Enjoy this peaceful, long video with birds coming and going between some very smart busy squirrels. Watch at 4 minutes for squirrel activity, or watch entire thing to enjoy a little bit of nature.

Has anyone seen a grey squirrel with solid white ears?
No this is not a joke. I have many bird and actually enjoy the antics of the tree rats. I have fox squirrel and greys. Last several years some the greys have solid white ears and larger then most greys. Asked our local Ag. Agent and many wildlife buffs. I did online seaches also too with no answers. One know it all farmer thought they were wanna be albino squirrels.
We enjoy these white eared tree rats and feed them. Does anyone have any info about them?
Do you feed the squirrels and the birds at your place?
