What
is a Squirrel Proof Birdfeeder?
A Squirrel Proof Birdfeeder is a bird feeder that limits
the access of seeds to just the birds. At least that’s the idea of
a Squirrel
Proof Birdfeeder.
Where can I get a Squirrel
Proof Birdfeeder?
You can get a Squirrel Proof Birdfeeder from retailers
all around the country and the internet. There are loads of website
including
Outdoor Birdfeeders, Inc. on the internet selling Squirrel Proof
Birdfeeders to
consumers. If you’re out and about you may find some in Hardware
stores and
some big box stores.
What
should I look for in a Squirrel Proof Birdfeeder?
The first thing you should look for is a note on the
website or the products information on the box that mentions that
this is a
squirrel proof product. You should look to see how it works as a
Squirrel Proof
Birdfeeder. Some Squirrel Proof Birdfeeders have adjustable weight
settings and
others have a baffle attached so the squirrels can’t reach the
feeder. There
are even some that spin and some that gives them a shock.
Is there a simple idea to make
my current bird feeder a
Squirrel Proof Birdfeeder?
Adding a baffle above and below your feeder will limit
the squirrels from reaching your bird seeds.
What
Squirrel Proof Birdfeeder do you recommend to your
customers?
I recommend the one I use on a daily basis at home. The 1st
Birds Choice (Improved) (hf75119i).
Do you have any suggestions to
limit the squirrels from
accessing my Squirrel Proof Birdfeeder?
There are several things you can do to prevent squirrels
from reaching your Squirrel Proof Birdfeeder. Try placing your
feeder so it’s not
right next to a tree or building where a squirrel can jump from.
Believe it or
not, a squirrel can jump a good distance even from the ground.
Place you feeder
on a pole or post. I have mine hanging from the oak tree in my back
yard. It is
secured from a branch above. I used a wire and tied it to the tree
branch. The
location is well away from the trunk of the tree and the wire is
nice and long.
When I 1
st placed the feeder in its current spot the
squirrels were
curious and they climbed down that wire a few times. Because the
bird feeder is
a Squirrel Proof Birdfeeder it became too much of a hassle for them
so the left
it alone.
Another suggestion you can do is to provide a squirrel product to
attract their attention away from your Squirrel Proof Birdfeeder and
towards the
squirrel feeder product.
