That was a pretty large shepherd’s hook I bought at Lowe’s but those little boogers climbed right up! Chewed off the perches the little goldfinches used.

Those pan-like things on your pole, what do you put there?

I don’t have those little dishes on my pole. Just the socks that hang from the ‘branches’. I have another pole, with four ‘branches’ that I hang feeders from - and use different seeds in each one. I also have a box attached to that pole that I pour seed in, as the birds like to walk on their food. I have never seen a squirrel get up those poles. I will try to find a picture for you.

JC, I found a picture of my feeder with four 'branches'. As you can see - it is full of different types of seeds. I had to put the rocks at the base of it because the javelina (wild pigs) would hit the pole to shake down seeds. LOL! This "Diner" attracts many different kinds of birds, and is busy all day.
