Wild Birds

If you can’t beat ‘em... Feed ‘em!
When it comes to squirrels, there is a simple solution to this problem and that is: If you can’t beat ‘em. Feed ‘em!

If a bird feeder is put in an area with a lot of squirrel activity, the chances are they will probably be attracted to it. After all, they are being offered a free meal and they simply assume that it is intended for them. Some people get so obsessed with keeping squirrels away that bird feeding tends to become an unpleasant experience. These people often forget to enjoy the beauty of the wildlife they have attracted and squirrels can be quite fun on their own. However, if you are looking for a way to rid your feeders of squirrels (because it is virtually impossible to rid a yard of them) here are a few tips.

The key is to divert the attention of squirrels away from bird feeders. Squirrel feeders are often designed to have a table and chair with a nail coming from the top of the table. A squirrel will sit down and enjoy their feast just as the feeder suggests. The nail can easily accommodate a C&S Squirrelog (the favorite food of squirrels) or an ear of corn, but the problem with an ear of corn is that it does not last long (a squirrel can polish off a complete ear of corn in about a half an hour or less). The C&S Squirrelogs are produced with compressed Sweet Corn and offer more food and entertainment value for the dollar. One Squirrelog equals 20+ ears of corn. For more entertainment use our Squirrelog Hanger that creates a moveable unstable feeder that the squirrels will go into contortions to eat from.

How to Use Mineral/Salt Mixes
By Kent Kammermeyer

Mineral supplements should be placed in February (South) and March (North) to coincide with spring green-up. Any earlier than this will waste salt because it leaches downward through the soil during rain events before deer begin using it. Apply the mineral salt at the rate of about one 50-lb bag per 200 acres for easy access by all deer. Dig a shallow depression on a flat surface of clay soil and mix the salt with the soil. Reapply pure salt and mix with dirt in June. No salt is needed for fall or winter when deer quit using it anyway. Look for bag salt with an analysis of 25-40% Sodium Chloride, 16-18% Calcium and 8-10% Phosphorus. Block salt does not contain enough Calcium and Phosphorus which is essential for antler growth, doe lactation and fawn rearing. According to your soil tests, both are limiting on your propery and may be contributing to your skull fracture problems. Cooper Seed Co. has this high Calcium/Phosphorus salt for a very reasonable price.
