Could you post a photo of the Roller Feeder or at least where you can buy them on line....Rich
http://www.rollerfeeder.com From their website:
"A RollerFeeder is a bird feeder that fully spins in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. The feeder allows small birds to feed while preventing squirrels and large birds from feeding. The feeder typically hangs directly off a tree limb, tree trunk (or any horizontal extension) and is best for birds such as chickadees, finches, nuthatches, titmice, and other small birds. When animals such as squirrels, raccoons, or large birds climb or land on the feeder, the outer shell, perch, and shaft sleeves spin. The fully rotational design prevents the unwanted visitor from resting or climbing about the feeder, and at the same time, closes off access to the feed ports. Afterwards, the shell quickly rocks back into feeding position and is ready for the next chickadee to come along".
The seed hopper remains upright (no spilled seed) no matter how much the outer shell spins around (I added that and can verify it from personal observation). I didn't take pictures or video during the first few weeks when the squirrels went crazy trying to get in. Wish I had.

This fellow was on top of my bird feeder. He kept falling off and was unable to get to the seeds. He did manage to shake a few to the ground, though.
cute shot of the little thief, ken. they can be annoying but funny as heck sometimes .

Cute photo. I know they can be pests, but I do love watching them, as does my cat. I think she wants to get outside and 'play' with them.

Your cat sees them as rats. You do know that, right?

I don’t know if she knows what a rat is, but she sure is interested in getting at the squirrels. She tried to go through the screen this past summer. Maybe it is in her DNA.

They mostly just stand or sit around eating. In the Spring they like to chase each other.
Nice shot! They are rascals, but I love watching them.

More like little devils than rascals, I think.
