Kids are Pleased when Squirrel Destroys House

Now that most of the holidays are over, you may have a few too many leftovers. Instead of throwing away old cookies and nuts, it's okay to share them with the wildlife. Anna and Evan created this gingerbread masterpiece to share with the neighborhood squirrels.

Other treats:
1. Apples When you are making apple pies don’t throw away the apple cores. There are a number of birds which may be attracted to apples, including cardinals. You can also roll birdseed in with extra pie dough and bake it in the shape of a bagel. When cool, hang from trees. The pie crust usually has lots of fat which is substitute for the insects that birds eat but are not plentiful in cold weather.

2. Nuts Many insect eating birds appreciate this high protein food. Too much salt isn’t good for the birds, but a few leftover party nuts mixed with other bird seed can be a treat. You can also collect nuts from the trees in your neighborhood, including acorns and walnuts.

3. Peanut Butter Smear peanut butter on a tree trunk. You’ll be surprised how many cute birds this will attract up and down your tree. Or spread Peanut butter on pine cones, old bread, rolls or cookies. Then roll them in birdseed and hang them on your bushes with raffia string.

5. Ornamental Corn Autumn decorations for your home can also provide the birds with food. Blue Jays and Squirrels will enjoy ornamental corn.

It took a few days for the gingerbread house to be eaten completely and it was really fun to watch.
