Birds don't mind Cayenne Pepper. Mammals do.

Bird seed soaked in Cayenne Pepper oil is commercially available, and I mix a generous amount of Cayenne Pepper powder into peanut butter for my woodpeckers.

if this works... I'm going to drown my yard in cayenne pepper... looks like I have some research to do!

this pic was taken Friday, and although he wasn't in the backyard area - I was standing inside of the fenced area when I took the pic. so sweet to have bald eagles around

We use a cayenne flavored suet after the raccoons went after our suet feeder. I agree. The birds can't taste it. Mammals can. Works a treat.
