Squirrels and birds eat Dalek made from nuts and seeds by Dr Who fan, Hampshire, Britain - 14 Dec 2013

Extermi-nut! Squirrels And Birds Go Nuts For Dr Who Treat
Video: https://vimeo.com/83304679
Squirrels and birds clearly weren't in fear of being exterminated as they tucked into this nut-covered Dalek!
The unusual treat, on a bird table in Hampshire, was created by pensioner Victoria Baker.
She used an old dalek toy of her grandson's, and painstakingly covered it with hundreds of peanuts and sunflower seeds.
"I used melted brown sugar and peanut butter to act as glue," said Mrs Baker, 87, at her home in Lyndhurst, in the New Forest National Park.
"It took several hours to complete, but I'm very happy with the result, as are the local squirrels and birds!"
Mrs Baker and 10 year-old grandson Charlie sat at the window watching as the first grey squirrel confronted the foot-high dalek, complete with nut-packed plunger.
"The animal was very nervous to start with, but soon realised one of his favourite foods was on offer," she said.
"Once he knew the dalek was not going to exterminate him, he started tucking in.
"Pigeons, robins, thrushes and blue tits followed quickly."
Mrs Baker said she has watched Doctor Who since it began in the sixties, first with her children, then with her grandchildren.
"We've all enjoyed it over the years."
The hit BBC show celebrated it's fiftieth anniversary last year, and the Christmas Day special saw the Doctor battling the daleks once again.
New Doctor Peter Capaldi will start filming series eight of the show this month, but fans will have to wait until the autumn before it hits screens.

Hazel the pickpocketing red squirrel steals nuts from out a person's pocket at Escot Park, Devon, Britain - 14 Mar 2013
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Richard Austin / Rex Features (2210253l)
Pickpocketing Squirrel's Life Of Crime To Feed Nut Habit
Hazel the squirrel is so nuts for nuts that she has even turned to a life of crime to feed her habit.
Red squirrels can jump up to 20ft through tree canopies when they spot food.
So jumping from a fence post onto an unsuspecting tourist - and then pilfering their pockets - poses no problem.
Hazel, who lives in Escot Park in East Devon, recently showed off her lightfingered skills with keeper Victoria Sissons.
Leaping through the air with the greatest of ease, Hazel lands on Victoria's arm before heading straight for the tasty treats in her pocket.
And once she has got her paws on a nut she is gone again - making her getaway with another leap.
Victoria and the other keepers carry nuts with them especially for the eight red squirrels who live in a special enclosure on the estate.
However, the enterprising animals have now reportedly starting pickpocketing visitors too - though it's no clear how successful they have been.
But Hazel apparently has a good reason for her thieving ways - she is pregnant and is stockpiling food before the birth.
John-Michael Kennaway, whose family own the estate, comments: "Hazel is the matriarchal type and was one of the first squirrels here, so she is also one of the braver ones.
"All the squirrels here are used to humans and really tame. They know all the keepers and will happily forage in their pockets for food.
"They even have a check in visitors' pockets despite us not encouraging them to feed the squirrels".

Hazel the pickpocketing red squirrel steals nuts from out a person's pocket at Escot Park, Devon, Britain - 14 Mar 2013

Pickpocketing Squirrel's Life Of Crime To Feed Nut Habit
Hazel the squirrel is so nuts for nuts that she has even turned to a life of crime to feed her habit.
Red squirrels can jump up to 20ft through tree canopies when they spot food.
So jumping from a fence post onto an unsuspecting tourist - and then pilfering their pockets - poses no problem.
Hazel, who lives in Escot Park in East Devon, recently showed off her lightfingered skills with keeper Victoria Sissons.
Leaping through the air with the greatest of ease, Hazel lands on Victoria's arm before heading straight for the tasty treats in her pocket.
And once she has got her paws on a nut she is gone again - making her getaway with another leap.
Victoria and the other keepers carry nuts with them especially for the eight red squirrels who live in a special enclosure on the estate.
However, the enterprising animals have now reportedly starting pickpocketing visitors too - though it's no clear how successful they have been.
But Hazel apparently has a good reason for her thieving ways - she is pregnant and is stockpiling food before the birth.
John-Michael Kennaway, whose family own the estate, comments: "Hazel is the matriarchal type and was one of the first squirrels here, so she is also one of the braver ones.
"All the squirrels here are used to humans and really tame. They know all the keepers and will happily forage in their pockets for food.
"They even have a check in visitors' pockets despite us not encouraging them to feed the squirrels".

Woodpecker stores nuts in tree holes, Stanford University, California, America - Jan 2012
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Michael Yang / Rex Features (1543731r)
An acorn woodpecker on a granary tree. The woodpeckers bore holes in trees to store their acorns.
Are You Nuts! Woodpeckers Make Hole-y Mess Of Tree
These woodpeckers make a hole-y mess of their local trees - storing up to 50,000 acorns in each trunk.
The busy birds spend their time boring holes in granary trees, before carefully slotting the nuts into the spaces - if they can find one the right size!
Photographer Michael Yang snapped the busy birds in action at Stanford University in California.
He explains: "I spotted a family of Acorn Woodpeckers hard at work storing acorns for the winter.
"They carefully pick acorns from oak trees and fly them to nearby storage/granary trees which sometimes hold up to 50,000 acorns.
"The woodpeckers bore holes in the trees with their beaks to store their acorns in. Some of the trees have so many holes that you can see right through the trunk and limbs! In some places, it looks like the tree is about to snap in two.
The acorn woodpeckers live in families of up to 16 birds, sharing the work of boring holes, gathering and storing the acorns, and raising young.
The woodpeckers spend a large part of their time inspecting acorns that they have already stored in their granary trees. The acorns get smaller as they dry out and need to be moved to smaller holes.
Acorn woodpeckers nest in cavities, often in the same tree where they store their acorns. They need to defend their acorns from other birds and woodpeckers.

"The woodpeckers bore holes in the trees with their beaks to store their acorns in. Some of the trees have so many holes that you can see right through the trunk and limbs! In some places, it looks like the tree is about to snap in two.
The acorn woodpeckers live in families of up to 16 birds, sharing the work of boring holes, gathering and storing the acorns, and raising young.
The woodpeckers spend a large part of their time inspecting acorns that they have already stored in their granary trees. The acorns get smaller as they dry out and need to be moved to smaller holes.
Acorn woodpeckers nest in cavities, often in the same tree where they store their acorns. They need to defend their acorns from other birds and woodpeckers.

Model train display made from plants in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory at the New York Botanical Gardens, America - 13 Dec 2011
Within the enchanting setting of the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory at the New York Botanical gardens, model trains zip over bridges and past replicas of New York landmarks made of plant parts such as nuts, bark and leaves. The unusual display includes replicas of iconic buildings such as the original Yankee Stadium, the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Bridge and Grand Central. The annual train show is a Christmas time favourite at the gardens.
