Nice!

He was a bit too nice to the squirrels, though. He was too afraid of anyone criticizing him for "animal cruelty". I would have been more evil.

I learned that squirrels can survive impact at their terminal velocity. That’s really cool.

Gotta love Gus.

I wonder if the upright rotates to make it easier to fill.

Eventually, they will learn to jump from the railing to the feeder, even to the roof of the feeder. They may also find a tree branch from which to leap onto the feeder.

I’ve seen enough of these to think like .

I’d jump on the roof of the feeder and then hang down by my hind legs and start chomping.

That's exactly what they do. Been there, seen that.
