This bird feeder has clips to hold the top on but it didn't deter this squirrel. I had to laugh, especially when I saw the birds still feeding.

I like it! They are pests, but fun!
And I'll bet the feeder was squirrel proof to. They are smart, you can't take that away form them.
They defeated me every time I used a new (squirrel proof) feeder. After a while I thought they were members of Mensa!! The feeder that's made to close when their weight on a bar closes the seed ports proved no difficulty. They hung with one leg from the roof no longer needing to stand on the feeding bar and used their forefeet to get the seeds from from the seed ports. Great photo, however. Poves my mensa theory.
Really good catches, Coolcameragirl! Squirrels are sooo funny to watch!
