I realize they are hungry, too, but they do eat a lot. I’ve seen some people string a line from one area to another, poke holes in the bottoms of 2 liter soda bottles, with birdfeeder in between the bottles. As long as it’s 6′ off the ground & the squirrel can’t jump to the feeder from above. Probably putting the bottles & feeder on a metal, gnaw proof line should do it. 😜🤣😹
They do eat a lot and have a knack for finding ways to beat the squirrel proof bird feeders. I guess if they are smart enough to get it, they should be rewarded for their efforts. But, when I had a feeder out, I would try to run them off. If they would share with the birds, it would be a different story.
Any idea if it would work to have them higher up?

Some of our bird feeders are high enough so that the squirrels can’t get at them, but for are not and thus still welcome to the squirrels.
