Does anyone have any ideas for keeping squirrels off my bird feeder? They eat everthing!?

put some aluminimum sheeting around the base of the tree or stand that the bird feeder is on, so that the squirrels slip and cant climb up it.


The sheeting will have to be at least 2ft wide.

Crisco...Grease the pole. They won't be able to climb up it.

You need a different kind of bird feeder that is squirrel proof. There are these ones with a circular thing around the outside that they can't stand on, they slip off.
Hang it from a nylon thread, like fishing wire.
Once a squirrel has located your bird feeder, it will become a regular dinner. You can do like the previous answerer suggested, but squirrels are very smart and can jump for long distances. You might want to purchase one of the squirrel proof feeders.





Squirrels can be almost as much fun to watch as birds. Once you get the bird feeder problem solved, you may want to put a squirrel feeder in the opposite part of your yard. Get one that makes them solve a problem to get to the treats, wait for them to discover the feeder and sit back and enjoy the shows.
don't you just love the birds and animals-we are warned not to feed animals and birds because you are calling in the pretty ones as well as the not so good ones, and to rid those pretty squirrels invite a hunter in or STOP FEEDING THE BIRDS. We are reminded daily of these problems you cant just have the ones you want and now squirrels, later mice, rabbits,snakes because they eat the mice.
Squirrels are smart little animals.. The best thing I have seen so far is place your bird feeder on a post, away from anything a squirrel could jump from-remember they can do amazing feats when it comes to food.. But anyway 4x4 post then use a metal cone just below the bird feeder. You can find these at Low es, Home Depot. Good Luck
Ever heard of a BB gun? Shoot one and hang him just right above the feeder. The birds wont mind.
Buy one of those feeders that has an opening wide enough for only a bird to get through.
I haven't seen a bird feeder yet that will keep those rodents off.
Amazing, aren't they? We watched a squirrel crawl upside-down down a feeder hanging wire, down the feeder and then pluck only the peanuts out of the food!





I found a good link - try their approach. You may need a new bird feeder or to add guards to your existing feeder.
