My dad has this whirl-a-squirrel thing in his yard. It looks like a big propeller with a big end (at the bottom, of course) and a little end. You put a corncob on the little end. The squirrel climbs up to get the corncob, and suddenly the little end is heavier (with the addition of the squirrel) and it starts spinning around and around. Funny as hell to watch!

Hehe, that does look funny. Personally, though, I've always liked squirrels better than birds so I'd like to see the "inverted" thing where the birds are thrown off and the squirrels can eat.

An interesting thing, though, is that the video don't show birds feeding from the feeders the squirrels are twirled off from...
