What’s Wrong with this Picture?

Cute squirrel, you might be thinking. But the real reason I took this shot, well there is a story behind it.
You see, Dave and I REALLY get into our bird watching. We have 3 birdfeeders around our property, and we get the most amazing birds here in the country…but we have a couple little problems…and that is 2 squirrels.
We buy the “songbird” food for the birds, so we get the pretty birds, however, we have psycho squirrels that come and find ways to hang from these birdfeeders and eat all the food up, sometimes within a day of filling them up! So we decided to try birdfood that was guaranteed that squirrels would NOT eat…but ours do.
When I say psycho, I mean exactly that! They climb up our lanai screen and literally squeel and hiss at my cats, and when I try to scare them away, they have literally went flying over my head, but I think they meant to land on it! (Could have been some great video if Dave was ready for it) They flatten their bodies, and hiss at me and they charge at me. They are nuts! (no pun intended)
But back to the reason that I took this particular photo. Dave decided he had enough of these squirrels and spent the extra moolah on the “squirrel proof feeder”. As you can see from this picture, our squirrels got the last laugh on that one…
Next step…I think these squirrels are gonna have to be relocated if you know what I mean. 
Game on little guys!
