Birdfeeders Do squirrel proof birdfeeders really work, and what type is best?

Question by bobandsue M: Do squirrel proof birdfeeders really work, and what type is best?
I’ve tried the kind with the perch that drops down when squirrels put their weight on it, but it didn’t hold up over the winter, the spring mechanism spronged . p.s. I feed the buggers on their own tray, but NO, they are selfish and want it ALL!!!)

The best, and my only way, was to place an umbrella type
product (this can be purchase in most any feed store)
on the pole before it reaches the feeder. Impossible to get around it)

That way the extra feed falls to the ground (for other birds &
squirrels) and the animal definetly cannot get around the
umbrella. . . I use a heavy plastic purchased type.

quite inexpensive, durable and IT WORKS!

good luck
