Abstract
The present disclosure generally provides a scented compound applied to animal feed, particularly birdseed, in order to deter squirrels from consuming the feed. This scented compound may deter squirrels in that squirrels often quickly detect most aromatic compounds due to squirrels' keen olfactory sense, while birds may not notice them at all. Further, given that this scented compound is non-toxic to both birds and squirrels, birds may consume the scented birdseed and birds and squirrels can smell the scented compound without experiencing health issues. The scented compound applied to birdseed may be citrus or peppermint oil.
