Stop the killing of grey squirrels
"echinosum" wrote in message ... UkJay;758711 Wrote: I love grey squirrels, even if they do drive me mad My parents are driven mad by them eating all the fruit they grow. They used to be able to grow msny apples, plums, strawberries, etc, etc, in their large garden but with the increase in squirrel numbers it is just a waste of time. They strip every fruit and every berry. Even attempts to net fruit trees, or build chickenwire cages around the berry bushes have been a waste of time, they are always clever enough to get in. We have no compunction about keeping rats and pigeons off our property, by destructive means where appropriate, why not grey squirrels? Granity says squirrel is tasty, I don't know, but woodpigeon is certainly very tasty. Stuff deleted:- There really is no answer to this one. I love seeing the introduced parakeets we now have in much of the south-east, although they haven't got to our area yet. Maybe we'll be seeing them as a nuisance in a few more decades. The parakeets here are a bloody nuisance, they destroy my apples and make a hell of a lot of noise, as well as damaging my vegetables, so if anyone knows how to kill the damned things please let me know! -- echinosum |
