Super Spinning Squirrel

Posted Aug 10th 2007 11:43AM by TMZ Staff

Bird lovers hate squirrels. Even though no one has ever had their head crapped on by a squirrel, bird people continue to feed their feathered friends and find new ways to keep the furry rodents away from their precious bird feed.


The squirrel hatin' folks over at Bird Quest have created the ultimate bird feeder protection device. Twirl-a-Squirrel utilizes an electronic motor to spin off offending rodents that hop on to your feeder while trying to secure a few precious sunflower seeds to feed their starving families.

While the results are hilarious, remember: There's no such thing as squirrel flu.

2. I'm a bird lover, but I also love squirrels. They don't bother anyone and they are cute!! I dfo not like this contraption. When I feed the squirrels, the birds all fly for some as well, so share and share a like I say.

3. OK, but what does this have to do with celebrities? Or was that that Rocky from Bullwinkle?

5. Thanks for the comic relief, tho it was hard to tell it was a joke as opposed to the rest of TMZ's postings. But anyway, the squirrel flu link was especially funny. Check it out.

9. That's because our society has been conditioned to think that cruelty to animals is funny. There was a commercial recently on TV where a guy runs over a raccoon and thinks it's hilarious.

People who compartmentalize themselves by thinking It's okay to feed the birds and be nice to them, but let's go after and hurt the squirrels are deluded. You either like ALL animals or you don't. If you're going to feed one group, feed them all. Period. Don't compartmentalize.

We have a bird feeder that's hangs free so that only birds can access it....but a lot of seeds fall on the ground and would otherwise go to waste were it not for the squirrels who position themselves on the ground and eat them all. Everybody wins. They're all cute, and I'm not going to discriminate.

10. Yeah, no such thing as squirrel flu until that little dude gets flung off the go-round, then you'll definitely have a "Squirrel Flew!"

11. I can't stand birds. I have bird feeders in my yard though.
I spray the perches down with WD-40.
The best things in life really are free.

12. That is unbelievably cruel and unjustified. Just awful....

13. No one should be mean to ANY animal. The squirrels are hungry too and if you can't spare a bit of birdfood than at least don't be mean to them. I love watching our squirrels; its like Meerkat Manor. Please remember to put water out for the birds, squirrels, and other creatures, they can't always get water!

14. Squirrels just stay on the ground right around the bird feeders and get plenty of castoffs since birds eat like pigs.

15. i like squirrel's much better then birds, but birds are ok. i would prolly break that thing if i saw a squirrel flying from it in my neighborhood. im no vegan or peta person, but i like animals, ecspecially cute squirrels. but i would laugh at the WD-40 thing, classic!
