it's officially not healthy for squirrels
It needs to be sprayed every couple of days.
I don't really care about this
Officially?
As long as it's not fish oil, otherwise it's personal
My wife is more tolerant of a $100 hobby. As long I don't start with photography equipment...
How about feeding the squirrels intentionally, there is no hobby for that yet??
I've seen this suggested as a solution. Setting up a squirrel feeding station with dried corn.
Which will attract deer, but then again you can set up some specialized deer food
it's good to be a Lubavitcher
Which will attract hunters.Chad gadya, chad gadya.
Set up a shochet?
I'm assuming the best location (for a bird feeder, not a hunter feeder) is dead center of a yard, the furthest from any trees, correct?
10 feet away from everything should do the trick. Don't forget about fences, structures and just not trees.
As far as squirrels go, yes - and add to that @CountValentine's points.Just remember that if it's too far for you to enjoy properly, it might not be worth the tradeoff.
However, from what I'm reading it seems you may have a better chance at attracting birds if you have a tree as a staging point nearby. So I guess it's a trade off.
Indeed. Basically at least 10' from a tree, fence, etc.
