Varicraft SP2MG 20-Inch Squirrel Proof Feeder for Mixed Seed

This is a very nicely made bird feeder and because I thought so, I now own two of them! Please do not believe for a moment this feeder is squirrel proof because it is not! If you can hang this feeder under a porch where the squirrels have absolutely no way to reach it then it is SQUIRREL PROOF! There is another solution you can also consider which I have incorporated on several other feeders I own. Find the largest plastic salad bowl out there, cut a slit in the bottom of the bowl and insert the handle through the bowl from the inside and rehang the feeder. If the bowl has any ridges or lips on the rim you can figure the squirrel will figure out how to hang on with their back feet upside down, swing over the to/sides of the bowl until he can reach an opening and then stuff himself! This keeps out the smaller red squirrels but the big gray ones are so long they just wrap themselves, with back feet hooked on to the wire rod at the top, over the bowl and reach down and feed...Read more

This feeder is only squirrel proof in that the feeder holes are protected by metal and they can't chew them.
