Bought a New Bird Feeder and the Squirrel......

can't get in. Chat Icon Chat Icon But did try very hard this morning.

New feeder that is called "Squirrel Be Gone". Once his weight goes on the perch, the outer grey shell goes down and closes the hole where the seed is. Chat Icon

See how the top separates when the squirrel is on it. I bought it at HD. They are cheaper at HD. They have two different types of bird feeders like this.

Feeder 1
Feeder 2

I thought it was a great idea. This morning I watched for them to come and of course they did. He almost fell right on this head several times. It was pretty funny. I think he was very PO'd. Hopefully he stayes that way and stays away from the new feeder, because I'm not buying another one if he breaks this one too. Chat Icon

Re: Bought a New Bird Feeder and the Squirrel......

We finally have some squirrel proof feeders too but mostly because of the baffle and where it's placed in the tree.

I didn't want him to go after my buried bulbs though so we also have a squirrel feeder. It's quite funny.

There are two wires that you tie to the tree and at the end are two screws. You screw dried corn cobs to them.

The only thing is, there's a coil in the middle so when the squirrels jump from the ground to eat the corn they get a bouncy ride. Hilarious. Chat Icon

Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon that is hilarious! We actually have one or several squirrels eat our pumpkin in the front of the house. I have to take a pic of it, it looks for funny. And they eat right through the back of it and ate out all the seeds. I couldn't believe what they did.
