The vidio is fairly accurate except that mine wore out in about 2 months or less. I decided to feel the squirls almong with the birds. 4 Feeders, 5 small fish ponds, a hawk and owl that hunt all in my back yard. I keep the ponds covered with a net to keep the herins out of the koi. wildlife in any size in enjoyable to watch.

I wondered if batteries might be an issue also. Anyhow I liked it. I also found it intersting that the squirrel didn't give up after one ride.

Here in TN I use black sunflower seed and I mix safflower seed with it. One big bag of the black oil sunflower seed to a small bag of safflower seed. That attracts cardinels, chickadees, and bunches of others. I have not figured out how to keep the Starlings and such away. Hope this helps, I have migratory birds stop by in the fall and spring; they stay a couple days and then are gone.

Since you have an over-abundance of tree rats, get a live trap, trap them, take the critters out to a wooded area and let them go. Or, get a .22 If you fry them right they aren't too bad.

One of my favorite sayings is, "There is no such thing as a squirrel proof bird feeder".
Then I learned about the Yankee Flipper.
Be patient for showtime...I assure you it is worth the wait:

I wonder if the squirrels would go on that just for fun.

Oh, that's really funny! When you thought you've figured it out, a bear comes along! With your resourcefulness, I'm quite sure you'll figure that out as well! Let us know how, that's for sure! :thumbup:

He easily climbed over a six foor chainlink fence, so unless I raise it to twenty feet, the birds will have to fend for themselves.

I am sure you'll find a solution fo that sooner or later, without raising the fence. An electric fence, perhaps! :)

First time I ever thought a squirrel was sweet. They drive the dog nuts.
