I had squirrels that were doing the same to my bird feeder .
I attached a sign that read
For Birds Only and The squirrels stopped feeding.
But I did get a small fine and 20hrs of diversity training. Because I broke an all inclusive regulation.
They are tricky bandits.
Another time before it was blown over in a storm, our willow Tree in the back yard had a hole in It that some squirrels made into a home .
On a very windy night I saw some eyes at ground level at my fence then at my eye level. I soon recognized it was a raccoon up the back side of the trunk it went right to the squirrels hole .He reached in grabbed one and was down then over the fence and gone in a heartbeat. It was a shock to see how cunning by using the howling wind as cover.
Moocher used to be a begging stray if you're wondering about the name.
When I was a corrections officer, I watched three baby racoon climb up the brick wall of a prison tower at night.
They could not get past my grated see-thru steel catwalk. So they turned about and climbed down FACE FIRST. Their mama passively watched the whole show.
That raccoon is probably strong enough to rip a cat's head off. I've seen one do it to a chicken. The cats are obviously armed only with small (1/2" blade or less) knives due to government regulations. I'm sure he'll go into politics sooner or later, though. Better to have them bring it to you.
