Another spring, another season where our “bird feeders” serve mostly squirrels.

Travels with Choppy 
Any idea if it would work to have them higher up?

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. 😜🤣😹

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.

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.
