Cripes - its January - and the bird boxes have not been cleared out from last year
Suddenly realised the job was outstanding so, yesterday, part of the entertainment was to sort out.
A thought in passing...
Squirrels have been widening some of the entrance holes on the wooden boxes -
would the application of Bitrex to the wood around the entrance hole act as deterrent to squirrels ?
( Bitrex - the worlds most bitterest substance)
Is this: a good idea / a rubbish idea / cruel / a suitable strategy -
some thoughts or alternatives - welcome
