went to the birb store today (nothing to do with BirbSite) and got a hummingbirb feeder with a new stick to hang it on (we don't have an overhanging porch roof), two squares of capsaicin-loaded suet (to feed birbs [who aren't affected by capsaicin] while deterring squirrels [who are]), and a small handful of caramels (for me [with no capsaicin]). tomorrow I will install the hummingbirb feeder. the spicy suet will have to wait until the one currently out there is gone. then--look out, squirrels!
