[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Explain nicely that squirrels should not be fed for the following reasons: 1. They carry ticks and rabies. 2. They are in direct resource competition with birds, and some birds are endangered. Encourage her to feed the birds, and point out that even if she gets a feeder that's squirrel-proof, squirrels will find ways to eat leftovers anyway. That way, she will prioritize [b]birds, who need winter sustenance[/b], but also help out squirrels (who don't really need it). Also, when it's below freezing, what birds really need is fresh water! That's why some people have heated bird fountains ;-) [/quote] How do you think birds survived before we started feeding them?[/quote]
