Squirrel Proof Bird Feeders
Let's face it - when you're trying to attract wild birds to your bird feeder, the last thing you need is a squirrel eating all of the bird food. After you buy a bird feeder, your main bill thereafter will be for birdseed. If squirrels have a chance to eat the bird food, they will. For this reason, squirrel proof bird feeders eventually pay for themselves, making a purchase of one very sensible.
Many squirrel proof bird feeders use squirrel baffles to block squirrels from climbing up the bird feeder pole. Other hanging bird feeders use a different strategy. A mechanism is used that is sensitive to weight, so if something as heavy as a squirrel climbs on the bird feeder, the mechanism is activated and blocks the squirrel from eating the food.
