![]() I figure that a twirling maple seed type aircraft would be a good solution. I’ve been working on a few catapult designs for quite some time now and decided to try and finish one of them. To make it even simpler I was thinking of going with a spinner like a maple seed. So I was thinking there needs to be some thing simpler than a Squirrel that flies nicely for younger children. If I have four kids that are new to modeling, I can’t manage the younger ones at the same time. It’s not that they can’t do it but the supervision requirement rises sharply for kids under 10. ![]() Seemed there were about 4 kids that were old enough for Squirrels but they had brothers and sisters that were a little young. The better that humans collectively get at permaculture the more animals that will want to be our friends, as there becomes a mutualistic benefit to our interactions.The other day I was out at Brewers park which some kids. This is likely how we started the domestication process that got some wolves to become dogs. We could theoretically put our skills towards other animals well being effectively recruiting certain wild animals to guard our food for us. Permaculture is basically engineering the most ideal possible natural habitat for humans. Bald Eagles return to the same nesting area for life if the nest remains undisturbed, and if the tree falls, they will rebuild in the same area if the environment is healthy enough to support them.Ī wonderful indicator for ecological health is stable and healthy populations of apex predators like eagles, falcons, wolves, bears, and humans. Prune and train the highest branches as the ideal "welcome sign" for a new mating pair of native predatory raptors. The most ecological way to deal with the squirrel problem is to set-up the ideal nesting habitat/situation in the nearest largest species compatible tree. ![]() In less than 20 minutes, a squirrel stole over 200 black walnuts that we intended to plant strategically as part of an attempted food forest project. If you could scale this up to launch groundhogs, and somehow incorporate a self-resetting mechanism this could become something big! Of course, I should think about owls, considering the raccoon population of the city I live in. It will offer them a spectacular view of my raised bed garden in the back yard, and all the squirrels they can pluck from the mulberry trees and garage roof peaks. ![]() I am also building a perch for the local hawks on a pole about six to eight feet above my third-floor bedroom window balcony garden, with an appropriate perch profile and wrapping. I am currently trying to brainstorm a way to cast a moving hawk shadow, probably a silhouette pinned to a motorised clothesline activated by motion sensor, but first I think I am going to try an outdoor speaker and motion sensor setup, with the speaker playing a hawk shriek any time the sensor is triggered. On a serious note, are there any guardian animals that squirrels do take seriously? I mean, they disappear whenever the Red-Tailed Hawks soar by, and I know that they are preyed upon, as I have seen, on many occasions, Red-Tailed Hawks munching on squirrel perched atop electrical poles. Is it bad that I want to see video of the Squirrel Electric Slide? Those little fuckers just won't leave my bean seedlings alone.
