    I went to a lovely garden centre last week for the first time (will review it in the appropriate section) and they had a tip pinned up by the wild bird food.

    (If you already know this then sorry about that!)

    They say that squirrels HATE spices, and if you mix your bird food in with some chili powder the birds don't care a bit, but the squirrels leave it well alone.

    I'm lucky enough not to have a squirrel problem but thought it might be of help to some of you.
