Those Darn Squirrels!!
 

Anyone have suggestions to keep squirrels out/ off the bird feeders?

My husband was surfing the net and found a "squirrel Flipper". It's a bird
feeder that will take the weight of birds, but not squirrels. When a
Squirrel sits on it.... his weight will cause it to turn and "FLIP" him off.

Though I think it would be very entertaining..... I don't want to be "mean"
to the squirrels. I just want them OFF of the bird feeders!

ps. We're trying the "slinky" solution right now..... but other solutions
are welcome!

split a piece of pvc plastic pipe and wrap it around the feeder pole and
they can't get a grip and just can't climb. A shower curtain rod cover is
also good.. I use a heavy piece of hard rubber. And it is funny watching
them trying to figure it out. We have use this method for 3 years and it
solved all our squirrel problems, and saved a lot of bird seed.

I have seen those flippers and they are hilariuos to watch. Be advised
the squirrals seem to enjoy them.
