Selection of bird feeders try squirrel

Squirrel proof bird feeders allow their birds coexist happily with squirrels, stopping the squirrels stealing bird feeders bird seed.

Before investing in feeder squirrel proof try some techniques to encourage the Chipmunks to leave only their feeders. Place feeders for birds in areas well away from trees to stop the animals jumping on to the feeders and ensure that your food is at least 5 feet off the ground (although the squirrels did jump up to 8 meters above the ground!). If these tips do not discourage squirrels, there are two options, either acquire data attached to your existing bird feeders squirrel proof or purchase a particular design squirrel proof bird feeder. Normally it will be more successful if you buy a squirrel proof feeder rather than trying to retro fit a device to their existing bird feeders.

Now there is a wide variety of bird feeders proof squirrel effective and of good quality available on the market and they come in a variety of styles and forms. There is a trial version of squirrel for almost all types of bird feeder.

Some of the simple designs have a domed shaped device at the top of the food. It is used in the feeders for birds that are designed to hang from the trees and asserts that the squirrels are not able to grip in the feeding of birds and simply slide off before reaching the food. They tend to be quite large and can delay some birds use their food. Clear plexiglass deflectors are more effective as birds as yet able to see the food in the feeder when flying overhead.

Metal cages are increasingly popular lately, and can be retro for some birds feed as well. They essentially consist of a tubular feeder that has an additional cage around it. This allows the birds to use their beaks to reach the seed, but they are not large enough for the squirrels to bite through the openings between the wires.

The most advanced, expensive and entertaining options are devices powered or weighted. Weighted devices or closed the hole of food or rollover to the hanger when something heavier than a bird perches on them. Most feeders are used by small birds, however if you have large birds with your bird feeders check their weight causes no feeder close or overturning. Some of the motorized devices begin to turn around when a squirrel trying to use them, this does not harm the creatures but soon left to go back and try again!

Another option is to buy a purpose built feeder squirrel House andl and encourage its squirrels use it rather than his left power cords for the birds! Of course this can drive more squirrels use their garden but many lovers of birds are this is an effective option and allows both species to coexist peacefully together.
