At one time, the “Twirl-a-squirrel” had taken a fall. One of the battery holders had broken at the time, but I did a bandaid fix on it which kept it working.
Now is the time for a permanent fix. You can see it above the green feeder in this video.



This thing is worth the 40 bucks it costs. It is great fun to see a squirrel get on the feeder and go for a ride. The great thing, is you can use any kind of feeder. Once you hang it and turn it on, it calculates the weight of the feeder. When a large critter gets on, it spins for about 10-15 seconds. Long enough for the squirrel to decide it better let go.

Here is an old video of such a ride:

I continue to correspond with the developers of EvoLV streaming software for the Mac. It appears that some bugs have been cleared up. It no longer seems to be hogging memory. That was causing the program to crash, especially when a viewer came on or left.
If you notice any weird things happening on the video, please send me a line to let me know.
