Ya, and they'll wash it down with a nice drink of the hummingbirds sugar water.

Even empty trash bins bring them running. Those bastards know when garbage day is,

i wish, i apparently have lazy squirrels, they empty their feeder out, and then run the birds off so they can try to steal their food too.
i was feeding them regularly, too, they shouldn't have been hungry, they were just greedy.

I've had some that would eat peanuts out of my hand and follow me around while working in the yard. I like having them around so I reluctantly share my strawberries with them. They help make my backyard my own little nature park in the middle of the city. It's nice to be able to just sit and watch the squirrels, birds, dragonfly's, etc... just doing their thing.

i only put it out when it's cold, we have black bear here, but i've never had one mess with it...probably because the squirrels have already stolen it...

We started putting trash out early on trash day only to have the main bear beat the truck.Even empty trash bins bring them running. Those bastards even know when garbage day is,
Now we have “Bear A Cuda” cans tested on Grizzlies. No problem since and that was 2009.

I've thought about getting those, but then it'd probably end up down the hill.

i think technically we "rent' ours from waste management so it would pay off eventuallyI've thought about getting those, but then it'd probably end up down the hill.

Ordered one but it was dropped in shipping and cover was jammed and I had to pry it off which left marks. They sent me another for free.
$75 but ended up 2/$75!
Just still like new.
Cover screws on heavy ABS type plastic

You sure you rent it? We had Waste Management for years. I thought we paid for the service and that they provide the can. If you want an extra can you can pay more though. At least that's what I thought.

our local hardware sells a bear proof one but it's no way near that cheap. i'll have to check out that brand.

our city provides them, they're designed to work with their trucks.
