The Squirrels - the return

So, back from hospital and we decided to try feeding the birds once again. 

Of course the squirrels have immediately returned and started gobbling up the food.  I bought a so-called "squirrel proof" cage to fit around the bird feeder.  This took about 3 minutes for him to work out how to squeeze into - although it's pretty funny because he can't readily get back out again! 

This afternoon Jane was able to open the window and actually whack the squirrel with a wooden spoon and still he was reluctant to move off.

I was wondering about a water pistol but then spotted this...  What do you think?

The ultimate in battery-powered blasting! Be ready for any battle with the N-STRIKE VULCAN EBF-25 blaster - an awesome, fully automatic dart cannon! Fires at a rate of up to three darts per second! The belt feeds automatically through the blaster, letting the barrage of firepower continue as you battle your opponent. Switches to single-shot mode for precision blasting.

Fully automatic blaster holds up to twenty-five darts and can fire up to three darts per second! Blaster comes with ammo box, folding tripod, 25-dart belt and 25 SONIC MICRO DARTS™ ammo and instructions.

It  does say that the toy should only be used by those aged 6 or above.  Do you think that the squirrel has to be 6 too?
