I watched this the other day. Good stuff and I love his presentation. If nothing else he got himself countless hours of entertaining squirrel watching.

Also, I know they are vermin and destructive, but I have come to have a degree of respect for them. Doesn't mean I won't shoot and eat them if I have to...but I like watching their little squirrel brains work.

I have a motorized bird feeder called the Yankee Spinner, and this works pretty well, even if, as this video shows...the squirrel does extract its pound of bird seed!

My takeaway: either this dweeb is single (and I can point to a dozen different observations to corroborate that theory), or he doesn’t even have a cat, much less children. I wasn’t about to fritter away 12 minutes of my mortal existence watching this in its entirety, so I may be wrong.

Thanks for the heads up to this. Funny stuff!

Outsmarting squirrels is clearly a bigger challenge than tricking package thieves. LOL

If they are greys, or fox, they would end up in my frying pan.

Enjoyed that. All but gave up on defeating the squirrels after placing the feeder on a greased plastic pole some 50 feet away from the nearest tree horizontally AND vertically overhead. They still would not be defeated making the leap with a planned trajectory to reach the feeder. Two of them, Hootie and her son Scratchy became multi year dependents and downright pests tapping windows for food and climbing pant legs and such. Fortunately no bites and we did have to enforce limits.

Defeated by the squirrels i turned my attention to the coons that also raided the bird feeder. They not only ate all the seed but destroyed the bird feeder. I broke them from sucking eggs by wrapping both legs of 110 volt ac bare copper wire to a 4” pvc pipe suspended around the bird feeder pole. The results were shocking. The coon raids ended. No coons were killed but I did learn they can actually scream in the night.

That was hlarious! I came to the same realization he did early on; that they is no sense trying to find a fool-proof bird feeder. So I sprinkle the birdseed on the deck stairs, so that the birds eat from the surfaces of the steps, and the squirrels wrestle each other below the steps for all the seed the birds have pushed underneath the steps in their haste. "Separate but equal."
