Do you think this squirrel-proof bird feeder will work? We bought one similar to this, with only one side open for birds to perch and eat. A squirrel's heavier weight would weigh down the bird perch and close access to the bird seeds. We'll see....One squirrel investigated and left it, but I bet he'll be back!

What's new on your bookshelves?
We've tried every kind of squirrel-less bird feeder and to no avail. My dad, who tends to be a little more active than I am about these things, says the only squirrel-less bird feeder that works is one that is manned by a gun-toting Texan. I hope you don't have to go that far.
ReplyDeleteI would like to read Animal Wise, An Act of Kindness and An Accidental Book Club, so thanks for introducing me to these titles! Looks like you had a good week, except for the squirrel :)
ReplyDeleteI hope your squirrel-less bird feeder works! The books you have look interesting. I will have to check them out.
ReplyDeleteI hope the squirrel-proof bird feeder works! Happy reading, they all look good. The cover on The Headmistress of Rosemere is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at Deb's reply. I hope you don't go that far too! :-) I have a ton of new ARCs on my shelves. Hopefully, I'll get to them all within the next few weeks. I've heard that Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy is an enchanting read. I hope you enjoy it. Happy Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI hope the feeder works, sounds like it will. Looking forward to your thoughts on these interesting books. I have Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy in my TBR stack and hope to read it soon.
ReplyDeleteAnimal Wise looks very good. For me however it seems to argue the obvious. If you are interested in this subject I highly recommend Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors by Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan where they argue that humans and other animals share all the same mental processes.
ReplyDeleteEqual rights for squirrels :) !
One Night in Winter and The Accidental Book Club look great! I just put them on my TBR list. Great week!

The bird feeder sounds like a good idea. I hope it works. Looks like you have some great reading ahead. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with the bird feeder! Enjoy your reading this week. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't have a bird feeder in my garden because of my cats - that would be asking for trouble. Let's hope the squirrel-proofing works.
ReplyDeleteI like the look of Animal Wise, and Also An Accidental Book Club - love all books about books / book clubs.
Have a great week and Happy Reading!

Deb's comment made me chuckle.
ReplyDeleteAfter a trade in at Half Price Books on Saturday I scored new copies of Cress and Hollow City at 30% off.
Have a great week.

ReplyDeleteHere's MY WEEKLY SUNDAY/MONDAY UPDATES
If your squirrels are anything like ours, they will be very persistent. :) Good luck!
ReplyDeleteLooks like some good titles, The Accidental Book Club sounds like a good read. Enjoy!
I have cats, so no bird feeder because I want the birds to remain alive ! I hope this one works for you. Have a great week :)
ReplyDeleteWe get a kick out of watching our neighbor's inventions to keep the squirrels out of the feeder. Currently, there's a slinky around the pole.

I will have to check out The Accidental Book Club. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI have that same bird feeder only in red and yes, it works with a few modifications. The squirrels try to defeat the closing perch by hanging upside down from the hook so I added a cap over the top. The cap also prevents the raccoons from pulling the feeder off the hook and throwing it to the ground - that happened twice. And a strip of duct tape prevents any critters that do get on top of the feeder from getting open.
ReplyDeleteHere's what happened to one persistent squirrel: http://wp.me/p2oND-8HK
