For years, I have tried to stop squirrels from taking seeds from my bird feeder. Finally, I have had success with the all-weather slinky spring I bought from Amazon.
But it cuts down on Squirrel gymnastics photo ops. Another trick is to grease the pole up high enough the squirrels can't reach above it but not so high the birds will get it on their feathers.
