DH bought me a squirrel proof feeder a few years back from a hardware store … it is a cylinder that slides down and closes the openings when a squirrel jumps on it due to the squirrels’ weight.

It works well for that, but now the squirrels are in cahoots with another bird, idk what kind, but it knocks all the seed out of the feeder trying to get to the sunflower seeds and the squirrels just wait below.🙄

That sounds like a great feeder. I’ll go look and see what Tractor Supply and Farm Supply have.

You must be growing some genius squirrels down there, being able to collaborate with the birds.

Everything here was fine until one squirrel figured out how to hang on the feeder upside down. Before that a lot of the birds didn’t like the little seeds so they would knock them out to get the sunflowers. The doves and the squirrels would stay on the ground eating. I was fine with that! And then one got greedy
