I love my birds and I also love to watch those cute little squirrels. I put out several bird feeders and several corn feeders for the squirrels.
To keep the squirrels out of your bird feeders use Safflower seeds for several weeks, the birds like them but the squirrels do not so they will leave the bird feeders alone. after a few weeks go back to the regular seed mix but add a little safflower seeds to each fill of the feeder and that shoud keep the little funny squirrels at bay.
hope this helps you out.
