Some people do not mind it when squirrels eat out of their bird feeder. Some people do not want squirrels in their feeder because the squirrels scare off the birds. Here are a few tips to keep the squirrels out of your bird feeder.
First, you would want to make sure that the squirrel cannot get up the pole if using one to hang your feeder. You can try attaching a squirrel baffle to the pole. Some people also recommend putting a slinky around the pole, which squirrels cannot climb on.
Another tip would be trying caged bird feeders or squirrel-resistant feeders. You will want to keep in mind that caged bird feeders only allow small birds through and if the squirrel is small enough, they could also get through.
The last tip is that if you can’t get those squirrels out of your feeder, you may want to consider feeding them their own food. The squirrels may then leave your feeders alone. You could try a dried corn cob feeder or build one yourself.
These few tips will help you get the squirrels out of your feeder, so you will be able to enjoy the birds more.
