Dear Tweeters-

Do any of you have problems with squirrels or English Sparrow coming to your
feeder? Well, I recently purchased a laser pointer and are they great or
what?! Just shine it in their eyes at a range greater than 18' (otherwise it
may cause permanent damage) and they freak out and fly or run away!
Unfortunately, it seems as though the sparrows are telling everyone else
because not even the chickadees have been at the feeder for a while. My
"research" will go further, and I will get back to let you know if it really
works or not.
