Dear Tweets;

Last year I had my US flag hung near the bird feeding area and near
the fence all year. ?The squirrels would climb up the flag pole and jump onto
the bird feeding area. They liked travel all along the fence jumping
from the fence to the
pole into the seed and back to the pole and down the fence. ?Fun to watch.
But - ?One day I watched a squirrel rip the flag from the pole and
attempt to run off with it. ?Oh yes he did! I had to chase him away.
I re-attached the flag and moved the flag and pole away from the
feeding area 20 ft. last year. ? The squirrel found the pole the other day.
Evidently, he still associates that flag with getting the seed and has
attempted once again to run off with my flag.

I wonder if this works for flag poles?

Thank you for sharing that story and baffle!
