(NAPSA)—If your heart takes wing at the sight of birds in your yard, consider these seven suggestions for saving the seeds you leave them from squirrels: 1.Location: Mount birdfeeders on a smooth metal pole at least six feet high. Prune any branches within a 12-foot radius. 2.Baffles: Install baffles, at least 15 inches wide and sloped, between the top of the feeder and its hanger or between the ground and the feeder. . . i \ u ‘ NI N A : N It’s not a flight of fancy: An ingenious device keeps squirrels far from your birdfeeder with the touchof a button. 3.Spinners: String spinners on a horizontalline. 4.Seed: Squirrels are less attracted to nyger, millet, safflower, canary and canolaseeds. 5.Clean: Remove any debris and spilled seed from around the feeder. 6. Traps: Live traps can harm- lessly catch and relocate squirrels. 7.Squirrel-Proof Feeders: There are several kinds. Squirrelresistant feeders have doors that close whentriggered by the squirrel’s weight. Metal feeders help minimize the damage from hun- gry squirrels. Wire cages around a birdfeeder can keep squirrels out but may prevent large birds from accessing the feeder as well. You can also get a humane and effective interactive birdfeeder. The Squirrel Boss Bird Feeder has a remote control operated by you from inside your house. When you press it, the offending squirrel gets a harmless static shock that tingles but doesn’t hurt.
