Since we moved to Central Virginia, we have had an ongoing struggle making our bird feeder more squirrel proof. We are on our third feeder and the squirrels have outwitted us every step of the way.
Jean Marie Oliviere sent me a link to the Ninja Warrior Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder. Mark Rober put a lot of thought and effort into building his squirrel proof feeder and documenting the success or lack thereof of his attempts.
If you enjoy watching cheeky tree rats engage in a battle of wits with humans, then you will love the four squirrels in this Building A Perfect Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder.
Such cute pictures 😃

Thanks. I took all of those with my cell phone. The squirrels do provide many entertaining moments. I just wish they would not pee on our windows, deck or porch furniture.

It’s a little humbling when our big, human brains design an anti-squirrel bird feeder and little, squirrel brains still figure out how to get the food!

They are quite wily when it comes to food. Thanks for commenting.

Great catches with your phone camera, Pat. I rarely see a squirrel here, but used to love to watch them — and particularly the chipmunks (none at all here) in DC.
Where there’s a bird feeder, a squirrel will find a way! Hugs on the wing.

Thanks, Teagan. In San Diego we had ground squirrels that we used to call Surfer Squirrels because they were in the beachside cliffs, but they are nowhere near as cute as gray squirrels or even the red squirrels we found near Monterey. Hugs back at you.

Is there any such thing as a squirrel proof feeder? 🙂

Not that I’m aware of
But I’m no good expert. Hope you watched the video. It’s a hoot.
