I moved my bird feeder and hung it under my porch the birds still come, but the squirrels will climb up the side of the porch and jump over and empty out all of the feed and then all the squirrels come and eat all of the food that is on the ground.

      For my bird feeders and sometimes they just hold on and you actually move your bird feeders and slide down either way its so funny watching the squirrels out but im not completely convinced anything really funny basically dont think theres much you can do this for my bird feeders and you actually move.

      I had a similar problem. A grey squirrel used to dangle from a branch and fall on my feeder, spilling food everywhere. Instead of moving the feeder I switched the type of seeds I used in the feeder. Safflower seed have a white coat and are bitter tasting to squirrels but songbirds still love it. At this moment a cardinal is feeding in my feeder. Since I switched seeds the squirrel has disappeared, probably to find better tasting food. Also some grackles have stopped visiting but they were little pigs that would empty my feeder every other day.

      Safflower seed is widely available in stores with other bird feed. I buy mine at Lowe’s. Plus, new bird seeds are also cheaper than a new bird feeder.

      Check your garden centers. Lows in my area sells a feeder that closes off the supply of seed when anything heavier than a bird sits on it. You can adjust the sensitivity.
