A lot of birds love to peck at a loaf of bread but the squirrels pull it down before the birds have much of a chance at it. To prevent this I bought a 8 foot tall pole to keep the bread out of reach. It is out in the middle of the yard so they can't jump on it from a tree limb. Obviously that isn't tall enough. Squirrels are not only very nimble, they are clever little critters.

Squirrels are smart little animals!
This one looks different than the ones we have in Canada though.
We have red squirrels, maybe yours are grey. There are lots of different varieties. Are their squirrels in Bolivia?
To my rheumy old eyes that squirrel stand doesn't look terribly secure. Is it listing to starboard?
I've never thought of putting a whole loaf of bread out for the birds, normally just crumbs from my table!!!!
I've just done a little catch-up and seen your picture of the Church AGM - I must learn from that. When we have the AGMs at the apartments where I live we only get the usual dozen or so stalwarts BUT if we served a buffet perhaps we might get more attendees? Your community definitely lives on its stomach(s).

Oui mais les écureuils sont mignons !
Chez nous aussi, nous mettons à manger pour les oiseaux : mésanges, moineaux et même des pies qui adorent les croquettes des chiens !
Bisous à tous les deux et caresses à Smokey.
