I have several bird feeders and love watching my birds. The only thing that ruins it for me are those #$@&*^%$ squirrels.
They will fight the birds for the right to be on the feeders, they will run them off, I have seen them fight blue jays and win. I wish the person that said 'squirrel-proof feeder' would come and look at mine anytime, anyday.

I was at Walmart looking for a new feeder, didn't find anything that I liked but did buy a cool looking hummingbird feeder and some seed. Went to Ace Hardware and there it was looking at me, a bird feeder that looked to the answer to my prayers. I bought it, bought some plants and came home.

Today was the day of my planned assail of the squirrels. I unloaded everything and the seed. I filled the new feeder up and waited and watched. It didn't take long for those little %$@#*&^%^ to show up. One stayed on the bottom, the other jumped on the clothesline pole. He gingerly walked on the top and then grabbed the feeder to steady himself and Wham! Bam! Thank you Ma'am! he was picking his butt off the ground. I will try to get pics as well as pics of the new hummingbird feeder. It resembles and old Coke bottle turned upside down and screwed in the base. I love it.

The top is metal as well as the bottom, as the squirrel tries to position himself, he falls off. I need to catch some pics but they must be getting tired. I spent close to $30, but it is having its desired affect.
