I am heartily sick of squirrels getting the lion's share of my bird
food.
As fast as I get rid of squirrels new ones come to replace them. Has
anyone
experience of those for sale? If so which are useless and which are
good?
The only problem that I can see is that the pair of woodpeckers
(well I
say
pair maybe they are just friends) will be unable to feed. any help
most
welcomed. TIA

I like the look of these, sadly they are made by a USA company, so I may
have difficulty procuring them here, however I will try. Thanks for the
pointer Graham

Thanks for all the replies and help on this one. I decided to go for the
"Squirrel Buster" versions from Gardenbirdfeeder.co.uk. I am hoping it
was not a mistake, all I got was an email from worldpay saying the money
had gone and it was an order from Gardenbirdfeeder, no mention of what I
had ordered. There was however an email address for the company to which
I sent a query,like dropping a pound coin down a bottomless well and
waiting for the splash. I tried to email them from their contact info on
their we page, it does not work. So I would advise anyone thinking of
using them to think very carefully, though there may be people here who
have and are happy with them.


It seems as if they have Facebook and Twitter accounts, chase them up on
those,
