Re: Birds...
Ah, thank you for that. We attempted to feed birds winter before last, with a tube feeder suspended with a line and pulley from a tree branch. No problems with squirrels, but birds toss out a lot of seeds to the ground, and we started seeing rats there, sometimes two dozen at a time. I didn't want to starve birds in midwinter, but come spring, the bird (and rat) feeding ended. I may give your recipe a try and see what happens. It should work; squirrels are basically just rats with more fur.
