Vaseline might be the quickest thing for me to try. She has scratch marks on the pole on the back side of the bird opening. She has got to be jumping that high to catch the top edge of the pipe. Will put the vaseline in that area and where ever I see scratch marks.
Guess me putting the clear dog cone collar on it is just not working well enough for her.
I did mention she is spring loaded and loves anything up high.
So tonight it is the greasy vaseline for starters.
I do have a black trash can lid but would need to saw at it to make it work under the box. Should do that soon so the birds will not be afraid of it if they come back to try again.
Just might do the tin foil as my number three, want to make sure she does not get up there.
Thank you for the help
