Squirrel Bungy Corn

Back in March, I posted a couple of items about the Squirrel Bungy Cord we acquired. To recap, it is a long chain with a springy rubber band in the middle and an eye bolt at the bottom. I take a corn cob and screw it into the eye bolt. Then I set it so it is about 18 inches above the ground.

The squirrels love it because it is food and it is fun entertainment to watch them jump up and grab a kernel.

Tonight, while watering the flower bed next to the Bungy Squirrel, Susan noticed some weeds coming up in the garden. She pulled one up and it had a kernel of corn at its root. 

The damn squirrels are burying the corn and it is germinating and growing. We pulled up most of the sprouts but left one to see how big it would get.

It's hard to determine whether the entertainment value of the Squirrel Bungy Cord is worth the mess the squirrels create.
