Keeping squirrels off of a bird feeder?

Posted by admin
O->–< asked:


I hate squirrels. I have a “squirrel-proof” bird feeder (the weight of the rodent closes the feeder) hanging from my gazebo that they still manage to get into. It doesn’t work. Short of a BB gun, how do keep them from eating all of my seed? Maybe a special kind of seed??

Oh yeah, squirrels are cute…until they tear up your yard!!
