I've been thinking about it, Deckman. Here is your solution.
Declare your land as a "squirrel-free" zone, a self-governing principality, and enclose the entire property in a transparent plexiglass dome. You will need openings, of course, to allow birds to enter and leave...and one for the driveway...and you'll need ventilation ducts to keep the air fresh. The openings will have to be closely guarded at all times by armed customs officials who will allow only birds and humans to cross the borders...but no squirrels.
I suggest small dogs for this purpose. They will work for food. Dachshunds are okay. Jack Russels are even better.
I figure a full time staff of a dozen small dogs would do the trick.
I know you're gonna say, "That's too expensive...", but wait! Consider this: You will go completely snow-free during the winter months with that dome overhead! You can also do a climate control thing and keep the heat nice and warm under there and sunbathe on the front lawn while your neighbours are cursing and shoveling out their driveways in January!
Then you can truly say, "My place is for the birds."
