Black Squirrel Assault Course

What can you do with a clothes line, a few bits of wood, some trellis and enough sticky-back plastic to rival Blue Peter? Build a squirrel assault course with your son of course. Add one black squirrel and watch the action unfold!

What kind of seeds are in the feeder?

[writerstevebarley]

@stevenscottoddballz The feeder is full of peanuts intended for birds, but the squirrels found a way in so we thought we'd make them work for their supper!

@writerstevebarley

I was wondering, because they look more red than I've seen. Peanuts are tan colored, aren't they?

[writerstevebarley]

@stevenscottoddballz Most raw peanuts have red skins. The ones humans eat tend to have been blanched in boiling water to remove the skin so they're not so chewy. Squirrels and birds aren't so fussy!

@writerstevebarley

Got it. Thank you SO much for your patience in answering my questions. It was REALLY interesting to watch this squirrel. When my mom & I moved here (New York) from Las Vegas, she saw that we would have squirrels coming RIGHT up to the trailer window. She set up a mini course for them to get to a string of peanuts tied to a rake handle. She thought they would nibble the string just above the bottom peanut, & take them ONE at a time. One bit the string at the top, & took ALL!
