Sorry I'm no help on the chili powder question. Just wanted to ask if your conditions would allow you to block the squirrels from coming in? Might be cheaper to keep the squirrels out then use chili powder as an additive for years...though I'm very curious if that would work.Squirrels are eating my Peafowls's food. Can I put chili powder in their food to deter the squirrels?
I just spoke with my vet who specializes in birds. He said the chili powder should be no problem for the Peas. I will let you know if it deters the squirrels.
My parrot feed has chilies in it so I know that peppers are bird-safe. I am not sure how squirrels react to it but you can get big containers at Sam's and top dress the feed, I wouldn't think it would take very much at all.I just spoke with my vet who specializes in birds.
