I love to laugh. You know that, and I know that.
What I don’t know is how I came across this website in the first place.
It was years ago, after my parents finally moved to a small house on a lake, where Dad could fish and they could watch birds. They parked their binoculars and bird book by the living room windows and put out a nice bird feeder.
Aaaaand started doing battle with squirrels, the little birdseed burglars. Were Mom and Dad successful?
Let’s just say that when we visited with our sons, Dad would invite them to bring along their Airsoft rifles.
Anyway, somehow I happened on this website called “Squirrel Stuff” — named, not after the birds that its customers love, but after the pesky little rodents who help themselves from their feeders.
Right away, I ordered these two coffee cups for my parents:
I find SquirrelStuff’s tongue-in-cheek humor refreshing, and thought I’d pass it along to you. Who knows, maybe you’re looking for a squirrel-proof baffle for your bird feeder. Or a coffee cup decorated with the guilty squirrel’s mug shot and rap sheet.
Here’s the link: http://squirrelstuff.com/
Your turn: Do you have any animal-pest war stories? It doesn’t have to be squirrels. Moles, armadillos, rabbits, mice, crickets… anything will do. Tell me about it in the “Leave a Reply” box below, and you will make my day.
Thanks for reading,

Haha, love the mugs! It wasn’t long ago that I was listening to NPR and they were interviewing three pest exterminators. When asked about squirrels around bird feeders there was a pause and they said: “just set up a squirrel feeder, there is no way to get rid of them as long as you put out bird seed.” Just thought I’d let you know… 😉

If he loves squirrels, you can certainly give him the link to the website…. but can the Airsoft rifles be our little secret??

If I ever put out a birdfeeder, I would check into a spinner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfHu-UJaK0Q
