Peanut cage

Squirrel challenges continue, this time I cleaned up a suet cage and put shelled raw peanuts inside.

This was a big hit. The squirrels went bonkers getting the peanuts out and running off with them. It was challenging, but not impossible. I even saw a small bird swoop in, pluck a peanut from the side, and fly off. Not a coconut, but still the peanut was larger than I thought a bird that small could carry! On day two I had to wrap the chain around the hook once because the squirrels figured out how to get it down and dragged it halfway across the yard.
