SQUIRRELS VS HOT PEPPER BIRD SEED! Does this spicy food actually work against squirrels?
IN TODAY’S VIDEO, I TEST TO SEE IF HOT PEPPER BIRD SEED ACTUALLY PREVENTS SQUIRRELS FROM EATING ALL THE FOOD AT YOUR FEEDING STATION!
In case you didn’t know, hot pepper birdseed is food that has been infused or coated with something incredibly spicy. For example, hot habanero chili peppers or cayenne pepper is often used.
So, why on earth would you put out birdseed that would make our mouths burn?
The reason might surprise you, and it’s not because birds have suddenly acquired a taste for spicy food. 🙂
Think of the last time you ate a hot pepper. The “heat“ that you feel in your mouth after eating one is caused by a compound called capsaicin. The reason we feel pain, discomfort, and burning after eating hot peppers is that capsaicin messes with specific nerve endings in our mouth.
So here is the crazy thing:
Only MAMMALS are affected by capsaicin.
Birds don’t have much of a sense of taste or smell, so they are immune. As a result, they can eat
