Time to put the bird feeders away....

Baby rats are quite cute but unfortunately they grow into adults which are not so cute. This is the first time I've seen one on this kind of bird feeder, it must be a very acrobatic little thing. We'll have to stop feeding the birds for a while now that the rats have found such an easy food source. This baby will have at least 10 litter siblings. Not a pleasant thought.

What a shame. Somehow, when the squirrels do it, it seems kind of cute but I can't remain calm about rats either.

[Phil Sandford]

Oh I say. We’ve not had that happen to is (yet). I’d throw it all away also if we had this.

[Pat Knowles]

Oh dear sad....the birds miss out but I would do the same...no rats near us thank you.

[Carole Sandford]

Oh what a shame! He does look cute, but I can see why he & his family wouldn’t be welcome!

[Ian George]

Nice capture

[Donna]

Cute but not a good thing (as Martha would say!)

[Valerie Chesney]

Oh Dear! Cute shot.

[Babs]

Oh no, the last thing you need is a rat infestation.

[Lis Lapthorn]

Oh, Sue!! I’m lost for words.

[Denise Wood]

Yes, definitely put it away!!

[Esther Rosenberg]

oh wow! and yikes...Great shot tho!

[Merrelyn]

Oh dear, I wouldn't them at my feeders either.

Did it fly up there, or parachute in. Nice capyure. FAV

Great capture but I would not want them around

[The Dog Lady]

great capture but I sure would not want them in my yard

Such a shame, my favourite haunt Elmley had to remove theirs because of rats
