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! Dorothy 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. "Amberbock" wrote in message . com...
