Squirrels and Hummers

Well, the squirrels were not satsified with devouring my hibiscus. Now they've decided to eat the hummingbird feeders. I assume they're trying to get to the juice, but they've destroyed several bee guards and the pegs the guards are mounted on, as well as some of the perches. So my ingenious DH constructed these cages around the hummer feeders. He's built these cages around all of our seed feeders and they have been pretty effective at keeping the squirrels at bay. Cable-tie engineering at it's best! The hummers adjusted to the cages right away, so at least they're getting fed.
