How can I keep the squirrels out of my bird feeders (suet)?

You need to make it so the squirrels can't reach the feeder, since they'll push it out of metal suet holders and destroy wooden ones to get at it.





That means hanging the feeder from something inaccessible to squirrels. A shepherd's crook with a baffle works. If you don't mind renewing it constantly, so does a shepherd's crook with a film of Vaseline. (It won't hurt the squirrel to get it on its paws or fur as it tries to climb.)
