I’ve heard that to discourage squirrels nomming on the birdies’ seed – try mixing really hot chile/chili powder in with the seeds. Since birds don’t have taste buds – it shouldn’t bother them. But supposedly the squirrels will back away once they take some bites of chile powder & have their taste buds melt.
Interestin! But aifinkso teh lack of bird taste-buds iz one of those factoids that you want to be a little skeptical abowt. A kwik Googlol search of “birds, sense of taste” pops up with a whole range of opinions (everything from “birds have a well developed sense of taste” to “birds have no taste buds” to “depends on which kind of bird”). Ah, teh Interwebs! Teh troof is owt there! Several of em! Pick one yu likes!!!1!
Besidez which–just because teh chickadeez can’t taste teh pepper, what’s to keep it from given ‘em teh heartburnz adn makin ‘em sik? Poor birdies. (Or nawt. For all I knowz, teh peppr mite makem feel great!)

I did nawt hear that. Is sad noos. I lubbings this sawng. I has tole this storeh befoar, methinks: PB wuz furst movie mah huzbing and I ever saw together. But we didn’t really see it. I had drinkinged too mush (wuz nervuss and trying to impress heem) and got sik in teh baffroom. He sent sum gurl in to git me – and then he tuk meh hoem. I shuld hav gnown then he wuz teh Rite Man, that he wuz willing to leave this movie to tayk meh home.
aww! Yep, dats a keeper awl rite! speshulee since hii wuz willin tew goe see a romantik moobie lyke PB inteh furst plaice! Sum guis ai kno mite sekretlee lyke it but tew masho tew admitz it!
*whispurs* He sumtiems kries at teh sad movies – moar than I do! And he will even watch a Disney movie with me wunz in a whyl. We lubbings teh movies. We kwotes them to eech uther awl teh tyme. Speshuly this movie. Fencing, fiting, chases, esckapes, troo luv, meerakuls. We has eggsperienced it awl – speshully in teh past yeer.
He sed to me last nite: Sumtiems in teh morning, when we wake up, I thank God for your life, and for allowing yoo to liv throo teh nite, I lubbings yoo that mush.
Yep, had teh saym effekt on meh. But I must shayr teh troof, which is that nun of us is that sweet awl teh tyme. (Hard to beleef!) But teh gud momints, I tries to fully liv in them and injoi them; and hold them tite in mah hart. I turns them over and over in mah floofy orinj paws lyke LCB holding a gem up to teh lite to watch its sparklols and shinys.
