I have been battling a squirrel all summer. She has eaten three complete clotheslines or used them to build a nest. I finally switched to a plastic coated clothes line and she stopped. I even bought squirrel corn but it was nest building she was interested in. Now the leaves are falling, I see bits of line she has dropped on the way back to her nest. I have bird houses on the back porch. The sparrows have had FIVE families a piece. They have made a mess hauling stuff and then remodeling for the next brood. It is really funny because they get into really big arguments in the middle of the night. I wonder which gender is yelling and why!
