There is plenty of food in the squirrels feeding area. I don't know why he has to eat out of the bird feeder.

@themusketeers @mittens @gardencat Thanks for all of the nice comments. Sometimes I think they do it just for the attention.

I was enjoying feeding the squirrels in my backyard. They were very spoiled and I made friends with two that I named Mr. Grey and the other, Van Gogh. However, when I decided to start feeding the birds as well, the squirrels turned into greedy little monsters and ate everything. The two I named disappeared. The other squirrels started eating the wooden roof one bird feeder, eating all the food in the Mourning Dove platform feeder, was crossing our yard and crawling up our screen doors, etc. I still feed the birds some but took a break on the peanuts, mixed nuts and sunflower seeds for the naughty squirrels. They were entertaining until they became hoodlums...haha!
