"I noticed an odd grey patch on my squirrel-proof bird feed and assumed it was a squirrel on the outside. However, it wasn't moving so I had a closer look. I was surprised to see a squirrel trapped INSIDE the feeder. It had lifted the unsecured top to gain access but the top had then dropped and trapped it. I later released the animal unharmed, although it played dead inside the feeder for 10 minutes before making its escape."
