Although it cost the great sum of one dollar for the plastic bucket from the store of the same name, it has defeated every critter in the three years that they have attempted to get to the bird seed. The feeder is about six feet off the ground. Only tool needed is a hole saw for the center of the bucket bottom. I have not patented it, so its my gift to all.

Looks good! I hate those darn tree rats. I fed birds for a while over the winter, but the tree rats were attracted to the seeds the birds spilled and then invaded my basement/crawl space. What a mess!

The flying squirrels here would not be challenged by this. Looks good otherwise.

An air rifle and a good wild game cook book works also as long as the neighbors don't rat you out to the cops. Or if you can't stand the idea of eating them make them into home made dog/cat food.

Because we are willing to let others think for us. On my way to get one!

I thought you were going to show me your dog asleep under the bird feeder. This is good to.

It's enjoyable to watch a squirrel walk under the feeder, look up, and just walk away. They are that smart.

Your Squirrels must be extremely stupid, unless the tin roof is greased. When my late wife fed the birds I tried something on the same order as yours and the little bastards came in off the deck roof and hung upside dow to traverse the rafters to get to the feeder the had a sloped metal lid on it.
The best deterrent was Buttons our Yorkie he hated the squirrels!!

It may be great as a squirrel deterrent nut it does not stop the black bears. I first tried 22lr ammo but found that each time I killed a tree rat another dozen showed up for the funeral.

A five gallon bucket does the same job.

I put my feeder on a pole that is away from anything that a squirrel can leap from or hang from. Unless they grow wings, they are doomed to failure. You should do the same. As I said, this bucket on the pole has worked 100% of the time for three years. My squirrels are as smart as yours. Maybe it's your intelligence that's in question.
