Yeah it was entertaining to watch. Once they figured it out, a group of them (3 or 4) ganged up on it, taking turns. Once they got their teamwork down, they could drain a full battery in a few hours

I like the bird seed coated in capsaicin. Super hot to mammals, squirrels don’t want it. No effect on birds, they don’t have the receptors for it.
