Birds and Squirrels

It’s a battle that’s seemingly been waged since the dawn of time. No, I’m not referring to the conflict in the Middle East or anything quite so weighty and grand. This particular skirmish recurs on a daily basis in backyards across the nation, and the two principle parties are humans and squirrels. The squirrels just want to scavenge a few seeds from low-hanging bird feeders. For their part, the humans are interested in keeping that from happening at all costs.

Selective, squirrel proof bird feeders are the secret weapon that can sway the war firmly in the humans’ favor. The feeders boast a protective cage that wraps around its base. This cage is too narrow to allow furry intruders any entry points, but it’s wide enough to let birds pass at will. From a squirrel’s perspective, this confounding contraption is utterly worthless, but to you it will prove invaluable.
