Why call them birdfeeders?

And this ain't all of them! There is at least five more.

the best squirl proof feeder i have ever had was the feeder tied to 20lb test line from a tree's branch. i put a weight on the end of the line and threw it over a high branch far enough from the base of the tree and any other tree for the squirl to jump on. then i let the weight drop down to me while releasing line from my spool. i then cut both lines and tied them together at a level i could fill the feeder as needed. only birds fed off that one. good luck.

Nice collection of fox squirrels you have there, micpic. Excellent fried, in stir fry, marinated and broiled on the grill or just about anyplace you need meat that tastes like chicken.

Looks like my place ! I do not mind feeding them. Red squirrels are another story !

yep every year about this time we thin the population to managable level round here.

have some fun, I set up a clay pigeon thrower and sprinkle a few sunflowers on it. Small rope in though the window. My yard is now the flying squirrel circus!

That was a good one, eyeguy.

I aim to please. :>)

Oh you just gave me a bad idea I have 2 clay throwers not being used till I watched that video. I think I will put them both up and have flying squirrel races.

I use Brome Squirrel proof feeders. They work. In fact initially you will have a lot of fun watching the squirrels try everything they can to get in. Eventually the squirrels learn they cannot get food and do not return. All they can do is feed scraps off the ground. I suggest the Plus and Classic, they are good sized and take a week or so to empty.

They cost a bit more than traditional feeders but you save money on feed (not being eat by squirrels) so they pay themselves off pretty quickly. The squirrels do not even climb up to the feeders anymore.

I'm laughing so hard that I can hardly type. The ones I ate never tasted like chicken, I must not use the right seasoning!

Actually if I get caught shooting them in town, the women's club will hang me from the nearest lamppost.

Now I'm going to the woodworking shop and build a catapult! That ought to make the winter go a little faster!
