A Great Squirrel-Proof Feeder
I take a lot of vacations and this feeder is perfect when I don't have anybody available to fill the feeders.

I have found this feeder truly squirrel proof provided it is suspended high enough above the ground so squirrels can't jump up onto it! The diameter of the feeder is large enough that squirrels can't hug the feeder and slide down to the feed ports. Various birds visit the feeder-as far as I am cncerned, everybody is welcome!

Great except it's not squirrel proof
The cardinals are a little timid with the perches. They would prefer a little more room. As a result they do not frequent the feeder as often as I had hoped. The squirrels, however, gorge themselves. They haven't all mastered the technique of hanging on and stuffing the seed in their mouths at the same time. But enough have to make my seed cost outrageous. If they can't jump up from the ground and hang on to the feeding holes while they reach in and grab the seed, then they slide down from above and grab on to the holes in passing. They may miss several times but they do eventually hit the jack pot. It's worth the effort. Sliding down the feeder also creates enough turbulance to shake some seed out. So the squirrels' buddies also benifit as they scarf up the fallen seed. (One squirrel hangs on to the holes with just his hind toes while using both front paws to eat. Talk about strong core muscles!!) Thinking I just wasn't hanging the feeder correctly I finally strung a very long wire from a very high tree branch and attached the feeder to it. It slowed the success of the squirrels...temporarily. They soon learned to compensate for the added speed at which they encountered the feeder. Maybe I just have super squirrels. If you think you have fat, lazy, dumb squirrels this feeder might work. Otherwise don't waste your money. I'm going to try the squirrel proof pole that is so highly rated. I refuse to admit defeat...yet. ;)
