My main feeder is in the middle of the front yard with nothing around it to climb, unless the critter can fly they can’t get to it.
Now the one hanging on the porch is another matter.
I’ve seen squirrels hanging from it.
The bears love the sugary hummingbird mixture about as much as they love honey.
I wish our Game and Fish would ticket for feeders left out at night.
When we had dogs they would go nuts, as they should, when a bear was next door draining her feeders.
Caused a problem when our beagle wouldn’t stop barking and we didn’t want a problem with neighbor, who caused the problem in the 1st place, so Abigail was given to a new home.
I wish I would have told her that her feeders needed to go not our dog!
