Seems to me, like everything else in real estate, location, location, location is more important then cute designs.

Even though they couldn't chew through the lexan, their activities were usually sufficient to spill enough seed to fill them up. My current feeder is pole mounted caged feeder. http://tinyurl.com/m932s The cage design keeps the squirrels out, and mount location prevents them from shaking the cage to get at the seed inside. |

DH got me one this Xmas that the outside slides downward, closing off the openings, if anything more than a couple birds' worth of weight gets on it. Since I feed both birds, squirrels, and do extreme bird feeding when the occasional hawk comes thru, the squirrels are welcome. :-) We probably won't have any more 4 legged in/outside pets, once the old dog passes on. 16.5 years and counting. ~ jan ~ jan/WA Zone 7a |

POND squirrel free bird feeder
Tree rat I assume is a squirrel....
Squirrels, nothing but a rat with social acceptance.. We have a pet grey squirrel who is a barrel of laughs. Let it outside and when the sun goes down the thing hangs on the window screen begging to get left in so she can go to bed............Tried all last year to get the thing to leave, but it looks like its here to stay now....It was born with a day of Hurricane Ivan and I ofund it on the ground all soaking wet naked and pink and cold. Did not give it much hope to survive but she did just ifne...It was bout as big as a half a vienna sausage.....It even rides on the german shepherd and tantalizes the other dogs, all of who get along with her just fine. We put all our bird feeders on steel posts or hang from limbs with wire and guards. On Mon, 27 Feb 2006 00:53:38 GMT, "Snooze" wrote: "~ janj" wrote in message m...
