Pretty self explanatory. Post animals, post pets, post stuff about animals and pets!

I read somewhere that capsaicin is a handy squirrel deterrent, as birds cannot taste it or something.
Here's an article about it https://secretaardvark.com/blog/the-hot-sauce-hack-squirrels-dont-want-you-to-know/
I read that too at some point, but I don’t want to drive the lil buddy away. The birds have taken to the other bird houses, and there’s plenty of sunflower seeds and suet balls to go around for all critters in our garden :)
