How do you squirrel proof bird I love watching the birds and
filling their feeders, but I
don't enjoy watching the
squirrels emptying them out. I
have bought the "squirrel"
proof feeders that are on
springs and close the feeding
holes from their weight, and I
have bought the plastic bowl
looking contraptions , and
they don't work... Any new
ideas would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you

I have fought this battle for a long time and also had problems with large numbers of doves, as well as squirrels, cleaning out my feeders in no time flat. I have found you have to buy a special squirrel-proof feeder. I have tried many and finally found two that are truly dove-proof and squirrel-proof: Brome Squirrel-Buster Plus (the best) Droll Yankees Yankee Whipper (this one is squirrel-proof only if mounted at least 16" from the support, or from any wall or tree, so that the squirrels cannot reach it and pull it towards their hungry little selves.) Another good feeder that keeps out both squirrels and large birds is the Duncraft Selective Bird Feeder, but this one is a caged feeder, so cardinals cannot use it. I have one of these that I'm using also, and it's wonderful for smaller birds. Woodpeckers can also use it by clinging, as can grosbeaks and other desirable birds, but not cardinals. The first two I listed, the Yankee Flipper and the Brome Squirrel Buster, are weight-sensitive. The Brome can even be adjusted so that large birds like doves cannot eat from it!!! I'm SO happy with mine. If you get the Brome, you need to be sure to get the cardinal ring that goes with it so that they can eat. This week on my feeders, I have had red breasted grosbeaks, indigo buntings, downy woodpeckers, red headed woodpeckers, hairy woodpeckers, red-bellied woodpeckers, chicadees, titmice, goldfinches, house finches, blue jays, white breasted nuthatches, brownheaded nuthatches, but NO squirrels and NO doves! For best prices, try bestnest.com and cooperseeds.com. Bestnest has a useful search engine that allows you to select what you do and don't want to feed. I am passionate about this subject and have also spent way too much money in my quest for the right feeders. My feeders are so squirrel- and dove-proof that I am using shelled sunflower seed so that there is no messy waste. (Cooperseed.com has a good bulk price.) I have two Yankee Flippers, one Duncraft Selective, and one Brome Squirrel Buster with the cardinal ring, so I hope you can benefit from my experience and enjoy your birds!!! P.S. I DO order bulk cracked corn from Cooper Seeds that I put on the ground in large quantities as a consolation for the squirrels and doves; towhees, white-throated sparrows, and juncos like it, too! |

you can buy one at a local bird place or where you get bird seed and stuff. I have seen many squirrel proof feeders, and YES they are real!!! here's an image of a squirrel proof feeder: http://pet-dog-cat-supply-stor e.com/shop/shop_image/product/ 35784d719f698f38c0372682b17cf0 c5.jpg when the weight from the squirrel is on the little post where little birds sit, the wholes that have seed in will close up! So the squirrel can't get in. These are sold like every where, like Wal-Mart. below is another link to a website with lots of sqirrel proof feeders. You can either buy one or get ideas from these ones. Good luck!!! http://images.google.com/imgre s?imgurl=http://www.backyardbi rd.citymax.com/i/squirrel%2520 proof/ar360.jpg&imgrefurl=http ://www.backyardbird.ca/birdfee ders.html&h=400&w=400&sz=23&hl =en&start=9&tbnid=s8jddR-L9aCF lM:&tbnh=124&tbnw=124&prev=/im ages%3Fq%3Dsquirrel%2Bproof%2B bird%2Bfeeder%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3 Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls %3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official% 26sa%3DG |
