Here are two shots of the squirrel. That is the best he could do with the spring loaded perch, but not very satisfying. He eventually went elsewhere.

There is a Suet Feeder on another hook just opposite the Tube Feeder. He just chose to go to the tube feeder

I like double shepherds hook like others here do. I put suet cake on one hook and expandable metal feeder with black oil Sunflower seed on other. Grease pole with petroleum jelly and watch the squirrels slide down.

I have over 40 fir trees in my yard and around 6 squirrels running around in my yard, and the odd one runs across the railing on my deck where there is four suet feeders hanging , and I have yet to see any one of them go after the suet , they go by it with out even trying to get at it , for ten years now since we moved here , and if they ever do there as good as dead ,

I have one Gazebo feeder on a 4x4 post. Squirrels kept getting to it so I put galvanized stove pipe around post. It is almost as much fun watching the squirrels slide down the pipe as it is watching watching the birds on the feeder 
My father used to hang Mom's feeders on a length of piano wire strung tightly between two trees. It was so thin that the squirrels only got part way out before they were hanging on by their front paws and shortly dropped off; it was a hoot to watch

!I think I just figured out why I'm not a victim of the squirrels, my feeders hang from a frame held up with four metal pipe like poles ,with a metal frame on the top that connects to the poles , I never thought of this before but if squirrels can't climb 2inch round metal poles
They can't get to the metal frame above that my suet feeders hanging from , that must be it , it's about eight feet high , I guess they can't get a grip , this could be done any where that squirrels are a problem , just get a eight foot 2 or 3 in pipe , drill a hole through the top and put
A piece of rear rebar in hole . Then hang feeder off the rebar or what ever you used for the. T bar .

I used to feed my squirrels lead pellets. I'm pretty sure they didn't like them though.

[quote=Bill_de]Do keep in mind, with all those little birds around you may get a visit from this guy. The snag he is on sticks up from the center of my feed tray.
That's a nicely composed photo Bill! I like it!
