  • Squirrel gets flung from trick bird feeder
    -
    Yes, the squirrels get to eat the dropped seeds, but at least they work for it! Awesome! I love a good bargain!
    -
    For those who wonder about the ethics of the situation, let me say that this one squirrel came back no less than 8 times (so far). If it was so awful, she'd leave it alone. From what I can tell, they love it - it's like an amusement park that pays food.

    I had a squirrel who was able to leap from the base of the tree onto the squirrel feeder. He wrapped himself around the feeder like a doughnut and his mouth ended up where one of the feeding holes were. Amazing. Pissed me off though.

      eastportland That doesn’t work-I tried using a mix of cooking spray and hot pepper flakes applied to the sunflower seeds for about a year. Didn’t even faze the squirrels; they just kept right on robbing my bird feeder. I finally had to drop $40 on one of those fancy feeders with the spring-loaded doors that slam shut when anything heavier than a bird lands on the roof or perches. Haven’t had any trouble since-with the bird feeder, at least. They’re STILL digging in my flower pots!

      The ones my family has are of a better quality than this and don't spin because the perches are separated into 4 equal parts....and yet it still doesn't prevent the friggin black bears from destroying the shepards claws we hang the feeders on...our last one got bent completely by a bear while we were asleep, and worse yet it was when we taken the feeders in for the summer/spring when the bears are more active so there was no reason for the bear to go near the damn thing.

    Best squirrel video I've seen, and no one can say "how mean you are to the poor squirrels!" They do the same thing on my brand new feeder, and get it spinning as much as they can. Then it's banquet time and feasting on the ground, and they keep coming back for more. I think they like this crazy stuff, like riding on the rides at the state fair! As you said: "at least they have to work for it!"

    I bought this "squirrel proof" feeder. Only thing i didnt realize, any squirrel smart enough would figure out that he can shake all of the seeds out onto the ground just by landing hard on the feeder, and he gets a free ride too. Maybe I will put nail spikes under the feeder and hope the squirrels land on them.

    It's an ingenious birdfeeder, but an improvement would include a line of centrifugal force-activated sliding doors that would shut off the seed-feed openings. The current design just encourages Rocky to keep going on the ride to enjoy the subsequent ground-level buffet.

    Yes, some seed gets dropped but the great thing is that the squirrels are very smart....after getting flung into the ground a few times, they give up and leave it alone. The only time they bother ours now is when it is full of fresh seed....then, they are blinded by greed and forget what it did to them....then, we get few days of fun watching them get flung around again!

  • @ancientsgate
    @ancientsgate 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    The amount of seed that's scattered on the ground every time a squirrel does a twirl makes this self-defeating. All they have to do is fall off and then they can eat all they want off the ground. It may be amusing to watch them twirl and fall, but it still scares all the birds away and is a massive seed-waster.
