Squirrel Buster Bird Feeder

Squirrels kept tyring to get my bird feeders,I greased the poles with bacon grease,anh heres how they tried and tried…fast forward to the 3 min left mark.

Many bird feeders advertised display the crossed out squirrel sign. Believe me, I have tried them all, and so have my garden squirrels. I am afraid I have to report that I have yet to find a feeder that was truly and totally squirrel proof. I don’t mean that the squirrels can actually destroy the feeder completely (which they can the wood and plastic ones) but, at the very least, they will manage to cling on and nibble at some of the seed or nuts through the “ports” meant for birds only. Or they will somehow get the lids off, and snaffle the top layer of food, and allow the rain to get in and spoil the rest. This doesn’t mean I don’t heartily recommend the so-called squirrel proof feeders — in fact, they are the only ones I use but I do suggest that you do a little bit of “customising” to secure the lids. I twist a length of heavy duty garden wire across between the handles of the feeder, so that it holds the lid down. Keep it tight and wind round a couple of times, and it certainly gives the squirrel an almost insurmountable problem. It will probably eventually gnaw its way through, but all you have to do is change the wire. Let’s face it, squirrels are great to watch and kids love them. Whilst not all squirrels are as easy to deter as the one in this video most can be ‘managed’ with a little bit of cunning.

i found that rats and squirrels can climb and slide down to get the food in the bird feeders so i used a old plastic pop bottle ,now they just fall to the ground.

Our squirrels have completely ruined our bird feeders, but tearing them apart. They still can not get into the bird food like they would like, but they keep trying.

Basically will a scarecrow scare a squirrel enough to keep them away from bird feeders? And please don’t just say get a squirrel proof bird feeder i just want to know if a scarecrow will work on not? Second question i guess, where would i get scarecrow? Thanks.

I purchased a new feeder that was supposed to prevent them from succeeding in their endeavors. I setup my Logitech surveillance camera to see if the feeder worked. As you can see the new feeder was the ‘Cats Meow’.” FYI: No squirrels were injured in this film; but were discouraged from further bird feeder attack attempts. This video captured by a Logitech WiLife camera. Learn More: www.logitech.com
