One of the most common bird feeder problems has a surprisingly simple solution 🌶️

If squirrels have been helping themselves to your feeder, try dusting the seed with a pinch of mild chilli powder. Mammals are sensitive to capsaicin, the compound that gives chillies their heat, while birds have no receptors for it, so your feathered visitors won't notice a thing.

A light dusting is all you need, and it's worth topping it up after heavy rain, as the powder washes away.

Fledgling on the ground? Don’t panic! 👀

It’s normal for young birds to spend a few days hopping around as they learn to fly.

Watch from afar: Their parents are likely to be nearby.

💡 Unless injured, it’s best not to interfere.
