Squirrel Proof Bird Feeders
If you have bird feeders and enjoy watching and photographing birds then you most likely have squirrels in your yard. These crafty little animals eat the same food you are feeding your birds and they will not give up trying to access it no matter what you do.
There are many strategies that we can apply in our yard to stop squirrels from stealing all that seed we just spent our hard earned money on but the best way is to purchase a squirrel proof bird feeder. There are many different designs available and most of them are very effective. We explain them in more detail on the “Tips” page so we recommend you have a look.
The best strategy is to stop squirrels from gaining access to your bird feeder and if this is at all possible then you will have won the battle. We all know that this is not always the case because you may have trees or a fence that is close to where you want to place your feeder so your only solution is a squirrel proof bird feeder.
As we mentioned earlier, there are very effective designs available from quite a few different manufacturers. Brome, Droll Yankees, Heritage Farms and Duncraft are all popular brands. If you can find a store that sells any of these brands, you may want to visit them and get a demonstration. If this is not an option then you can go to You Tube and watch videos demonstrating most of these products.
Squirrels are extremely persistent when it comes to getting at food. Gray squirrels are big eaters and will be seen at your bird feeder most of the day. A Squirrel can chew through plastic, wood and even metal. Most of the manufacturers have a guarantee against squirrel damage and will replace any parts that get damaged.
We recommend that you purchase a squirrel proof bird feeder if you want to ease your frustration and in the long run, save money on birdseed. You can read the reviews that we have made available and get the “facts” instead of just product advertising. There are many people that have had the same problems dealing with pesky squirrels but have found a product that worked. We have tried to present as many different brands and designs available so that you can make an informative choice as to which one will work for you.
Hopefully you can find a solution so that you can co-exist with squirrels and still enjoy the birds in your backyard. The squirrels are not going to leave as long as you are providing food so take the information available here and use it to your advantage and take back your yard. If you think about it, isn’t that why we call it our back-yard!
