Default Gray Squirrel Problem


wrote in message
oups.com...
Hi,

I have a bunch of gray squirrel in my yard. They've always eaten the
bird seed I put in feeder, but I really don't care about that.

Recently however, a gray squirrel was gnawing on a Burning Bush shrub
that has been under the bird feeders for about 4 years now.

I've never seen a gray squirrel try to eat a shrub before.

Does anyone know if this is a common problem, or just a temporary
oddity. The bush was just setting out new leaves as it is mid spring
where I live (coastal NH).

Any recommended solutions besides moving the bush or the feeders?


when you find a cure for "squirrels", let me know - we'll make a fortune :-)


PS - squirrel gravy is the best gravy, period. (seriously)


Thanks.
