Safflower seed is no panacea! A friend in Winchester got a safflower seed
feeder because of problems with squirrels. It hung for a month with no
business from birds, but today he had a squirrel climbed down to the
feeder, took a seed, climbed onto a branch and ate it and repeated this for
a half-hour, eating maybe 50 seeds. No other seed had ever been in the
feeder. Has anyone else had this problem?
