Hi,
I have a bunch of gray squirrel in my yard. They've always eaten the bird seed I put in feeder, but I really don't care about that.
Recently however, a gray squirrel was gnawing on a Burning Bush shrub that has been under the bird feeders for about 4 years now.
I've never seen a gray squirrel try to eat a shrub before.
Does anyone know if this is a common problem, or just a temporary oddity. The bush was just setting out new leaves as it is mid spring where I live (coastal NH).
Any recommended solutions besides moving the bush or the feeders?
Thanks.
