Squirrels Learn Obstacle Course
Backyard gardeners and birdwatchers have gone to great lengths to keep squirrels from raiding the crop or the bird feeder, but squirrels will not be deterred when they know there's something to eat at the end. This clip from the upcoming show A Squirrel's Guide to Success features an experiment that looks into the squirrel's learning process. They harness practice, memory, and logic to learn how to negotiate the weirdest of barriers we place on them. (via Laughing Squid)
A Squirrel’s Guide to Success premieres Wednesday, November 14 at 8 PM on PBS.

Seems people put food out for the birds that shit on their cars and heads, but go to great lengths to starve the much nicer squirrels, which are cute wee animals that do not hurt anyone.
The birds can fly off to a food rich place whenever they want while the squirrels are bound to a small area of land.
