Can anybody tell me where I can buy a bird-proof squirrel feeder? ):

There is a reason squirrels are known as "tree rats" - they are pretty destructive. I found evidence of them living in the attic area of my house some years ago when I installed more insulation. It wasn't pretty.

I like the feeders that rotate and fling the squirrels off. It's funny to watch them try to hang on until centrifugal force has its way.

Now I'm in the mood for roasted Squirrel and there is 2 feet of snow on the ground! Maybe if I put out the "Bird" feeder they'll come to me! :lol: :coolsmile:

That ain't sporting! You should bark them! It's the only sporting way.

I like knocking the squirrels off ours with my Super Soaker 2000 (which was banned from sale). You can also knock them off the tree limbs when they chatter at my golden retriever who chases them up.

"Ayly .. SQUIRREL !!! ... Zooooommmm Bark Woof."

I set up a squirrel feeder outside my kitchen window.

You should see how many birds come to steal from it!

I actually don't know why people put up bird feeders. Birds are rats with wings. All you get to see is some flitting colors.

Squirrels might be rats with bushy tails, but they're as much fun to watch as kittens playing. One which comes to my feeder will drop food to a friend on the ground (and fiercely attack the friend if it tries to come up to the feeder).

Cardinals, titmouses (titmice(?)), and some I don't recognize come to steal from the feeder despite everyone 'knowing' a bird feeder has to be far away from the house.

My in-laws have been fighting squirrels for years. I kind of like them myself. But then, I'm not dumb enough to waste money feeding wild birds that are perfectly capable of finding food on their own.
