Kurt Grandis was plagued by an endless offensive of squirrels against his birdfeeder. He needed a solution, so he programmed sensors to detect the shape and color of squirrels -- and only squirrels -- then instruct a Super Soaker water gun to shoot them. Skip to 16:00 to see it in action.

I dont see the point in feeding birds and being militant haters of squirrels, Dont they get to eat too?
What makes a bird more interresting or valuable to watch?
Atleast squirrels dont wake me up before the devil gets
his shoes on in the morning, and they dont poop on cars/peoples heads from 2 km up high.
I just dont get why feeding flying rats are more acceptable to some?
Not too far from programming sensors to detect the shape and color of humans. The British have already made a Skynet, there's the creepy robot hand earlier and now animal sensing technology. We're just daring the machines now:)
Exactly. That is why they made .22 - perfect for the job.
