A picture named airzooka.jpg

If you hate squirrels piggin' out at your bird feeders, this thing could maybe give you a bit of pleasure. It blasts a 60 mph "ball of air" at your target of choice. Somebody at work gave me an old Discover magazine today and I found a short article near the back extolling the virtues of this device for "teaching physics." I immediately saw its potential and so did two friends there. I entered the discount code WEEKEND and ordered 3 for $35.

Liz said my plan to wrap my bird feeder in barbed wire might get "a bit bloody," not in the usual Brit sense of "Bloody 'ell" but it the more disgusting and immediate sense of disemboweled squirrels falling from the feeder and I didn't like the picture. Paint balls could cause brain damage to the rodent sumbitches, maybe even kill them, and I don't want blood on my hands - even if it is only squirrel blood.

I think the Airzooka might do the trick - a little psychological damage, maybe even PTSD, but an unexpected blast of air shouldn't maim them otherwise. I'll let you know how well it works. I know it is hopeless to keep them off the bird feeder long term, but they need to know there is a price to pay. They will be my test subjects and I'll let y'all know the results.
