Max. | That's a great word - very appropriate. It's a pity that it is not in the OED.

to deter the little critters soak some of the seed/nuts in home made chilli oil and mix with the other food. this doesnt effect the birds but the 'grey' ones are such fans and will deter them. |

They soon develop a taste for it! I just wish I had seen their faces when they first tasted it

In Hotham Park this is the norm lol I love being followed by a gang of up to 8 squirrels begging for my nuts!
One even tries to climb my leg sometimes hehe! Look at my opera blog and you will see them.

Bag of peanuts in my pocket and squirrels whizzing up and down my jeans as though posessed! Couldn't get far enough away from them to get focus using my 80-400 which I'd put on thinking I'd get some frame-filling close-ups.
Love your pics Jenny, especially the poser!
