Stop your complaining.
They could have been as big as emu's
Put a coupla stakes in the ground, and turn your boots upside down on those
Or cover em with a plastic bag.
PS please explain Whats a squitter?

You leave your boots outside and stand them up to reduce the chance of
a nasty (spider etc) crawling in over night: right? You shake them
before putting them on just in case and all will be well: right?

Except when they become a display platform for small birds who sit on
the edge. Apparently they face outwards to attract their mate, shoo
off their rival etc and their squitter therefore points inside. So
guess where they squit. Ain't nature grand.
