Squirrel Feeder Conga Line   (+5, -1)  [vote for, against]
When squirrels gather round the feeder, the platform senses they're standing on it and music starts to play while the motorized platform does choregraphed moves synced to the music making the squirrels "dance".

See link for those chicken videos where they move them to the music so they look like they're dancing. This does the same thing with squirrels only automatically when they gather at the feeder. the motorized platform imparts appropriate dance moves to the squirrels while they eat. Ideally you get two or three all dancing in unison.

See link for the dancing chickens thing. The song would be the one in the second link.

Motorized platform makes them dance similar to this. https://www.youtube.../shorts/ify_o9qMh4o

This would be a good song for the squirrels to shake their tails to. https://www.youtube...watch?v=VVRHtUes7go

The world seems to be obsessed with dancing squirrels. Hey, I get it. [doctorremulac3, Nov 27 2024]

I left out that since squirrels get very focused when they’re eating, the top part of them would be holding onto the food feeder outlet as they eat, and only the lower parts would be gently dancing, doing a hip swinging thing. That was actually the whole point of this. Forgot to clarify that.

I was thinking Harry Belafonte but Miami Sound Machine works just as well.

That would be perfect too, anything with that hip sway thing. What's that called, rumba or something? Or is that the robot vacuum? Anyway, Belafonte would be great too.

Jump in the Line I think they consider as calypso, but yeah, the fast hip dance is a rumba.

Where's Mark Rober when we need him...

Too much to have a the feeders moving around in a circle so they all do that calypso line dance thing?

Naa, too complicated.
