There are some great ideas here. I like the fur coat one best
Maybe I should start up a new business
They are really entertaining, but I don't want to spends lots of money on feeding them. They are just sooo greedy.
The squirrels this year are not so smart as one that we had last year. I don't know what happened to him, but he was completely fearless. He tried everything to get past the baffle. He squeezed up between the pole and the hole cut in the baffle to fit on the pole. He got around the baffle (it tips, unfortunately) and he would leap from anything close by. One time he even started eating the baffle!
Once he got up there, he decided it was easier to lift off the fat ball feeder and throw it to the ground rather than have to climb up again after I chased him off!
He was a real little character.
Anyway, I am hoping that all will go back to normal again when the acorns start falling.
