First round scores: McBastard the Squirrel - 1, Jodie - 0. These little rodents can run up walls. They can't run up glass, so I stuck my bird feeders at the very top of the window. But they can jump onto door handles and from there launch themselves onto your feeders and swing from them until they crash to the ground.

Round 2: McBastard - 1, Jodie - 1; They can't jump onto bird feeders from door handles if you stick a cardboard barrier to the door and sticky tape to the door handle.

Round 3: McBastard - 2, Jodie - 1; But they can run up walls, and have sharp little teeth that can totally tear your peanut feeder to little shreds that they nicely leave on your balcony for you to find, sans peanuts.

Round 4: McBastard - 3, Jodie - 1; Yep, he can still run up walls, and has developed a superhero-like ability to clutch onto the sheer brick wall with one hand, while using the other to stuff into the bird feeder and pull out fistfuls of sunflower seeds - as seen in the mugshot next to this post. And you wonder why he gets called 'McBastard'!
