Bird Feeder vs. Squirrel … how can we outsmart the little innocent squirrel from reaching the bird feeder?

Over the past couple years, I’ve got my parents squirrel proof bird feeders.

One birdfeeder, the one built for the small birds to fly into the steel grate, the squirrels are able to reach into the bird feeder and use their claws to flick out bird seed. It’s not easy for the squirrel, because they have to hang on while using just one claw to pick at the seeds.

The milk jug theory doesn’t seem to work; they just plow past them.

I will also be accepting pictures of your ideas. Send photos to holykrapbatman@inbox.com and include your Yahoo Answers ID, so I can match it up to your post in here.

Best answer with or without photos will get 10 points as the answers will be tried out either this week or next week. I may extend the period of time for further experimentation.

Please help the little birds keep their birdseed, and let’s shut down the free trade of seed to the these militant squirrels.

Thanks in advance for your help and expertise.
