This is a really nice bird feeder, but don't depend on this technology to keep squirrels out of your birdseed. The squirrels hang upside down with their feet and reach for the seeds. It just takes them a little longer to eat all the birdseed.

For $10 at Walmart, it's a decent buy as a durable metal high-capacity feeder, but it does not live up to its name, the "Squirrel Stumper." From what I see, it doesn't deter squirrels one bit. The only way you can make it squirrel-resistant is to hang it from a long thin wire that squirrels can't climb down, and place it away from any other branches that they could jump from. Seeing as how you could do this to any feeder, It doesn't make this feeder any more squirrel-resistant than other, less expensive feeders.
Looks like the squirrels will still be eating my sunflower seeds until I can find a feeder that's advertised truthfully.

Maybe my Squirrel Stumper is missing something (like perches) because even small birds can't eat out of this thing without flapping their wings to stay put and they soon give up. I definitely haven't had any bigger birds try it which is too bad because the price was good.
