“You can smell the spicey seeds once you open the box. I love how large the cylinders are. Good deal. I will see how long it would take for the birds to finish the cylinder. The seeds seem to be packed soft. You can seem to squeeze it easily. But I am keeping it under a baffle to protect it from the elements. I am sure regular squirrels won't be interested in the spicy seeds. I might get 1 adventurous one. Let's hope not.”
