Most squirrels take meat when they can get it, but that guy seems to have gone totally carnivore.

The little psycho would jump on any small song bird that landed on the ground and kill the bird by biting through its skull. Very strange thing to witness first hand. <br /><br />ZacAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527944689184796366.post-67273887382248281032011-12-27T01:45:01.006-08:002011-12-27T01:45:01.006-08:00At my parents' old house, birds kept braining ...At my parents' old house, birds kept braining themselves on the picture window, but we always figured they must have recovered and flown off, because there wasn't a heap of carcasses down there. Until the day Mom heard a "whack!", saw the bird fall, and then a squirrel run out of the bushes and haul it away. And I thought I was disillusioned about butterflies and fireflies!Fuzzyfostermomhttp://fuzzyfostermom.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527944689184796366.post-37976167162523849742011-12-26T10:45:27.952-08:002011-12-26T10:45:27.952-08:00I've got to chuckle at that assessment, becaus...I've got to chuckle at that assessment, because I remember a vegetarian colleague's kids at a picnic who thought no one was looking when they took the real hot dogs instead of the veggie dogs.

Most of the time, it looked like the carcasses were sort of picked clean (some meat, but a lot of exposed bone)...so I just assumed the Glaucomys were chewing on the bones.<br /><br />This is very interesting!Trailblazerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09949103831752176052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527944689184796366.post-86942499911813556282011-12-22T17:05:41.143-08:002011-12-22T17:05:41.143-08:00Wow, this is so interesting!

I actually just set small mammal traps this past week in hopes of luring in FS and we baited with a miix of seeds/nuts/peanutbutter/molasses. It didn't occur to me to use meat. If I did, what would I use? Roadkill bits?<br /><br />I write a blog on similar content, and have written about my experiences with FS in NY, if you're interested!Alyssa Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05944057074589003472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527944689184796366.post-45687376881206681902011-12-22T16:47:23.495-08:002011-12-22T16:47:23.495-08:00Maybe I should be putting something other than sun...Maybe I should be putting something other than sunflower seeds in the bird feeder that the squirrels like to raid.Chas S.
