Raccoon and Wind Proof Bird Feeder?
Black Iron Pipe because we're tired of Coons and Wind destroying our feeders. Also, hung a 4" galvanized dryer vent pipe over the post.

    With a promise of letting us know if it works....So after 4 yrs does it work to keep the racoons out?

      Hello and thanks for asking. The ferns lasted indoors for about a year and so we replace them annually each Spring.

    They are easily translated. Shade misture and mulch.

    Nice. I cannot wait for the birds video hanging out on that feeders.

    Use Cheyenne pepper on food or get spicy bird food. Bird are not affected by spicy stuff, but racoons and squirrels feel the heat. You could also use safflower seeds, bird like it but they are very bitter to mammals.

    I used a 10" and it still didn't work!!

  • @jeanvaljohn3921

    Good video, There must be a hundred vids on solving bird feeding problems . Ad enjoyable as bird watching /feeding is, It sure can be frustrating on occasion. B.t.w. I checked with your local rangers, The beats in your area can reach up to eight feet 😳 😉

    weird. no follow-up at all.

    Yes, I too thought the 4" pipe was too small for protection from coons.

  • @mrc3458
    @mrc3458 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    You should of used galvanized pipe so it wouldn't rust so bad. You have never posted if it worked.

    Is your post cemented in the ground and how deep?

  • @jeffreylocke8808
    @jeffreylocke8808 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Take a piece of plywood and make it a foot wider all around from the foot print of your step-ladder. Lay the plywood on the ground where you need to use the step-ladder. Problem solved.

    Great idea, I was dealing with raccoons which were destroying my bluebird eggs so I built a similar device which used a 5 gallon bucket and PVC piping, video is called "How to save bluebird eggs with this!"Hope you have great success.

    • @daveoakleyfitness2392
      @daveoakleyfitness2392 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      So far my contraption has kept out the raccoons, just have to remove all bird feeders when my bluebirds lay their eggs, otherwise the wrens and sparrows get aggressive and destroy the bluebird eggs because they get territorial over the food.

  • @nancyavalon4150
    @nancyavalon4150 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Did the 4" pipe work? I saw elsewhere they recommended 8" pipe. Let us know if this really worked with your raccoons.

  • @glennhunter1258
    @glennhunter1258 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I gave it a thumbs down because there does not appear to be any followup. Result is my time wasted. Please follow up with a success story or remove this video.

    I dont think we need an update from the channels that we already watch. It just seems like a gossip vlog. Maybe you mean well but this is news we already know. Do your own stuff and dont click bait on someone else's channel.

  • @MIgardener
    @MIgardener 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Guys, lots of love for caring about our channel but really I didn't snap. I was fed up with people who don't value my time but want to take all mine with not knowing what they planted, not knowing when they water, not knowing anything, yet want me to speculate about what is wrong with their plants and can't even give me enough context to tell me what plant. I need some form of context and that is all I said. With zero context it gets deleted, there is no such thing as a "dumb" question, but you have to lay out some form of context because that is what helps me narrow down an answer so i can help someone else. It is just respectful is all. You don't call up your doctor and say "what's wrong with me?" he won't know where to begin!
