The guy running at the end made me laugh so hard. Only because his frustration and anger of defeat finally got the best of him... cant blame him, these squirrels are smart.
My old boss did this, he loved seeing how they would overcome the challenge and in turn challenged him to come up with new pieces to add. His whole backyard was a proving ground for this.
That was hilarious. That squirrel definitely was determined. What a smart Little Critter. I would love to have him in my yard. You should set up his own little Feeder because he really deserves it for all what he goes through just to get that little bit of seed.
I rescued a baby squirrel last spring. I have a new appreciation for the rodents. She had as much personality as any dog I've had. I reintroduced her to the wild within a few months, she still remembers and visits me
Yeah we have one who revisits our garden every year and barks at my wife when she is planting our garden. It thinks we are digging up its buried nut stash. It is going to be really mad this year. We covered the entire back yard with woven weed barrier so we don't have to weed so much.
It is nearly impossible to deter a squirrel. They learn from failures and mistakes. They size up traps -defenses and how to outwit them. Squirrels are survivors.
+Sudaraka MallawaArachchi Not really. That is even the WHOLE POINT OF THIS!!! This isnt a challenge for the squirrel to pass and get a reward you dummy. He built it to keep them away. I would chase them off too. Its sad to see people backing up vermin.
Well it's free so what is it that you chased him out you could of let him feed a bit don't you think that he deserves a good feeding after he's been troubled to get his reward
i suspect we are getting a petty view about what actually went on. Looks like the designer only wanted to showcase and entertain not stop the squirrel completely. That's what these holes tell me.
@Mostly everything Sucks We feed the squirrels peanuts and then they try to take the bird feeders completely over. I don’t think yo realize just how bad they are.
One squirrel will empty a feeder that would otherwise service dozens of birds of many species for hours or days. The squirrels are very aggressive with birds (the innkeeper’s FRIENDS, for whom he goes to trouble and expense to attract to his feeders). It is like “Why not just give the crack gangs enough money for their stuff, and they’ll leave you alone.” You wanna try that, don’t be being NEAR to me. Squirrels and crack gangs be WAITING IN LINE. “Those house invaders had such a brilliant plan, they should get away with all the murders and everything.”
The movie _Young Einstein_ shows young Albert growing up on the family farm in Tasmania. One day, Albert noticed his dad was very busy doing something. "What are you doing dad?" "I'm going to flood this valley son." "But dad. That will drown all the little animals." "Yes son. In one go." I really like Einstein's father. Squirrels are vermin. They chew things and cause huge damage. I'm going to have to replace the back window on my house. They carry fleas, ticks, and bot flies. They carry viruses and bacteria transmissible to humans. Vermin. They deserve to be killed.
puppetsock Ah yes, such great logic. We, as a species, also cause a lot of damage (if not more) to other animals, carry bugs, and carry bacteria, viruses, and diseases, which are transmissible, not only to other species, but *gasp* also to other humans! Does that mean we deserve to be killed too? And that just about every other animal does as well? For one thing, other species do not need our “approval” in order to survive. Nonetheless, squirrels play a vital role in forest regeneration and seed dispersal, so they help maintain a healthy ecosystem, and we need a healthy ecosystem in order to survive, as it supports the environment we live in. Love them or hate them, other species have just as much of a “right” to exist as we do, and history shows us what happens when we try to “play God”, as some say, and attempt to wipe out species (I highly recommend looking up the Indian vulture crisis and its consequences, a great example of what happens when a species rapidly vanishes across its range. The poisoning was not intentional in it, but the consequences of this event do show how drastic wiping out an ecologically important native species can be for the environment. Vultures are keystone species, and they are extremely important in maintaining healthy ecosystems). If you wish to discourage squirrels or “control” their populations near you, I recommend putting up nesting boxes for owls, playing audio of predator sounds every now and then, and sealing off all possible entrances into your house.
Solution: One metal pole One metal cone under the pole, wide skirt side facing down (pole goes through cone opening) One metal cone above the pole. make sure it wide enough to cover feeder, not wide enough to stand/crawl on (so use a cylinder feeder) so 45 degrees or more Oil up the top metal cone and bottom. Thats it!
🤣😂😂 I started dying as soon as the squirrel made his dramatic ass entrance onto the wire. A part of me thinks the squirrels might take enjoyment climbing your obstacles.
This is far far better than watching the two legged squirrels on TV, this is actually way more educational , informative, and entertaining than the TV squirrels in Washington DC and Hollywood. These squirrels are much more intelligent and interesting.
Omg its 1 am i woke my husband and kids bursting out with laughter when the guy ran after the freaking squirrel im still crying dude omg best video ever!
Humans are so mean to squirrels. They are hungry, too. Good for them should be put out out, too. My bird visitors and squirrels share and it is darling to watch them.
Yes.if you ever saw a squirrel in the middle of the road not knowing which way to go when you approach in a car,well one actually got inside of my glass bird feeder with a lift up metal top and he about killed himself trying to get out when he saw mei laughed him all the way across the yard.
Good Job the music from Mission impossible fit to the T, And I think Jim and the rest of his team would be more than proud to have this guy join them for that was some of the best work at overcoming things that would be impossible to some Love it only wish the innkeeper would have let him have his meal after all he did work so hard for it and put his life on the line witch each jump thanks for posting
Years ago I had a similar problem with squirrels ,it turned out to an easy fix. I bought an 8 foot length of P.V.C pipe 2 inches in diameter put it in the ground about 2 feet put the feeder on top and coated the pipe from the middle to the top with a lite grease ,It was funny to watch from my window as the squirrel made it almost to the top and then slid down, it wasn’t long before they gave up and didn’t bother any more.
It wasn't an obstacle course with a reward at the end. It was an attempt at preventing these rats from eating the feed that was purchased not for them but for birds.
I just sprinkle the black oil sunflower seeds on the pavement, and let the squirrels, sparrows, chipmunk(s), doves, robins, crows, bluejays, chickadees, feed to their delight. Been doing it now 10 years, track the populations, and enjoy the company. One squirrel and one chipmunk are almost tame. there was one chipmunk who used to feed a mole a few years back with bread crusts and seeds. Love it. Never had an infestation problem either. Poor baby squirrel. Jeesh.
I wish I had TH-cam 30 years ago. When I lived in NJ, I matched wits with Squirrels for years, trying everything from flying saucer top, greasing the pole, etc. These bastards figured out every obstacle and drove me out of my mind. I live in AZ and I am so glad I do not have to match wits with these bastards anymore.
Our huge back yard maple tree was once home to many squirrel families. I worked in the city across the river, so I used to trap squirrels and send them many miles across the river to drop them off before work each morning. After a few dozen, I noticed that the population never decreased. The absence of squirrels just created a vacuum, so others came on to take their homes in our tree. I threw in the towel and made peace with them. They continued to have their way with our garden.
Persistent squirrel, but the disks are not smooth. The holes give it grip, the wood itself gives grip, and the spikes work like handles. Use smooth waxed disks with rounded edges, they use the same for rats on ship ropes.
+Lindsey Bennik Well personally, I figure it will work best because they wont come back. But if you're someone who has more empathy for animals, you could use a dull disc covered in WD-40.
+Tiaan Fourie Its a wild animal. People keep saying that if the squirrel is smart enough to get past the trap, then it deserves to eat the rewards. If its about who is smarter, then clearly a sharpened disc wins that argument.
I just discovered from Brome Bird Care the "Squirrel Buster...the seed feeding openings shroud allow birds to feed, but the weight of the squirrel forces the shroud down, spring loaded, closing the seed feeding ports. Some large birds affect the shroud in the same way. So far so good even if the squirrel manages to get to the seed feeder past the shroud. 😊
Yeah it would work better with no holes and no nails. Just use a wider circular board, and make sure it's smooth so the squirrel can't get a good grip with his little claws.
I about died laughing watching this. I go through this every year. Mine isn't as elaborate as this one. They will jump, run, spin, hang upside down, and puke until they get what they want. Which is bird seed. Even though my back yard is full of nuts underground. They still want my bird seed. So lets say this really makes me sad to the birds not the frinken squirrel. I almost break my ankle every year from holes due to the squirrels and their food. Believe me there not going hungry. They're to finken smart and determined.
What great agility these creatures possess. When one did it fast enough, he soon learnt the trick over the wheels. That squirrel deserves a bag of nuts. 😄
For improvements, don't have any holes in the second, larger circle barrier. And have a funnel shaped barrier with the larger end towards the bird seed. So if he makes it past the larger circled one, he will have the funneled shape one immediately afterwards.
One of my greatest joys was to watch all the different types of birds thought out the year that visited our bird feeder, and my disappointment of an empty feeder after a squirrel found its way through all my numerous misguided attempts to stop it. My greatest regret was discovering all the rodents the feeder attracted, and after settling in, they found ways into our house, my work shed, our garden shed, my truck, and my wife’s car, chewing their way into my engine’s air filter, chewing my engines hood insulation to making a nest in my cabin intake filter, chewing my wife’s brand new Golf Alltrack VW’s hood insulation and making nests deep down along the engine block, and crewing their way inside the car. To this day, when the engine warms up or when I turn the heater on, I still smell rodent dropping.
Its because you chase them away. They know you have food, they cant get the food you leave outside for the birds, so they move inside to look for it. Ive fed squirrels for years and not once had they tried to get inside the house, or shed.
@@AlphaQHard I’m sorry you misunderstood what I meant when I wrote “Rodents”; what I meant was mice. “My greatest regret was discovering all the rodents the feeder attracted” It’s not that the mice or the squirrel’s got into the feeder; the mice were attracted to the birdseed that the birds dropped from the feeder onto the ground and into the grass. It’s what happens at night under the cover of darkness.
There's no such thing as "CAN'T" in a squirrels vocabulary !!! Lol Best creature EVER !!! 🐿️ ❤️🧡💛♥️🖤💜💙💚❤️🧡 People hate I'm, but I love their ingenious injenuity !!! 😄🥰🤣 Just like me, you tell me, I CAN'T, I'll prove you wrong, everytime !!! Lol. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Golf clubs are a bad idea. Squirrels are far too fast for that. A pellet gun would be much better... No noise, no mess and if done correctly it can be dead before it hits the ground.
This needs to be a TV program. Reminds me of that show... don’t know the name cause I don’t watch but the I’ve where people compete to get to the end and they are running on rotating stuff and falling in water and climbing impossible objects etc. This squirrel is flipping amazing!
Uhhhh.... maybe if the larger second disc DIDN'T have holes drilled in it for the squirrel to use as hand-holds, it would be a sound design... What the hell are they there for anyway?
Two reasons I can think of off the top of my head: 1) Help prevent that one wheel from tearing down the whole line in strong winds; 2) The more holes in the wheel, the less overall mass/weight of it, all while still retaining it's structural integrity.
These squirrels are quite intelligent. It seems that as they were trying to reach the seeds, they seemed to learn from the obstacles whenever they try to reach the bird seeds. I'm also amazed by how persistent and determined they are.
The squirrels are just LEARNING and, since there are no risks, they eventually figure out what they need to do. If you want to prevent squirrels, you've got to make the learning risky--incorporate some penalties as they learn, THEN you have a chance!
The guy running at the end made me laugh so hard. Only because his frustration and anger of defeat finally got the best of him... cant blame him, these squirrels are smart.
My old boss did this, he loved seeing how they would overcome the challenge and in turn challenged him to come up with new pieces to add. His whole backyard was a proving ground for this.

A question on the design here. Why does the inner wheel have holes in it? Seems the fuzzy little ninja is going to make use of them.

Plexiglass discs without holes and nails ?
🤣🤣🤣
......And they shall call the squirrel “NEO”. He is the chosen one from the Matrix! 😁
🤣
For improvements, don't have any holes in the second, larger circle barrier.
And have a funnel shaped barrier with the larger end towards the bird seed.
So if he makes it past the larger circled one, he will have the funneled shape one immediately afterwards.
Squirrels gotta eat too! If you don’t want “critters” don’t attract with food!
I keep seeing these, feeding birds but act like a squirrel is a rabid lion throw him a peanut 🥜
If people wanted to feed squirrels they would have put out squirrel feeders instead of birdfeeders.
Norm E that’s not how it works Norm. They all forage and hoard for winter. They’re called animals.
@@norme1850 lol
We just blast em away when they think they can chew on the bird feeder and nock it down
One of my greatest joys was to watch all the different types of birds thought out the year that visited our bird feeder, and my disappointment of an empty feeder after a squirrel found its way through all my numerous misguided attempts to stop it.
My greatest regret was discovering all the rodents the feeder attracted, and after settling in, they found ways into our house, my work shed, our garden shed, my truck, and my wife’s car, chewing their way into my engine’s air filter, chewing my engines hood insulation to making a nest in my cabin intake filter, chewing my wife’s brand new Golf Alltrack VW’s hood insulation and making nests deep down along the engine block, and crewing their way inside the car. To this day, when the engine warms up or when I turn the heater on, I still smell rodent dropping.
Its because you chase them away. They know you have food, they cant get the food you leave outside for the birds, so they move inside to look for it.
Ive fed squirrels for years and not once had they tried to get inside the house, or shed.

I’m sorry you misunderstood what I meant when I wrote “Rodents”; what I meant was mice.
“My greatest regret was discovering all the rodents the feeder attracted”
It’s not that the mice or the squirrel’s got into the feeder; the mice were attracted to the birdseed that the birds dropped from the feeder onto the ground and into the grass. It’s what happens at night under the cover of darkness.

Ahh I got ya. Yeah mice are never fun.
The squirrel is Smarter them the homeowner., the squirrel is ready for the Olympics
There's no such thing as "CAN'T" in a squirrels vocabulary !!! Lol
Best creature EVER !!! 🐿️
❤️🧡💛♥️🖤💜💙💚❤️🧡
People hate I'm, but I love their ingenious injenuity !!! 😄🥰🤣
Just like me, you tell me, I CAN'T, I'll prove you wrong, everytime !!!
Lol. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Golf clubs are a bad idea. Squirrels are far too fast for that. A pellet gun would be much better... No noise, no mess and if done correctly it can be dead before it hits the ground.
This needs to be a TV program. Reminds me of that show... don’t know the name cause I don’t watch but the I’ve where people compete to get to the end and they are running on rotating stuff and falling in water and climbing impossible objects etc. This squirrel is flipping amazing!
Uhhhh.... maybe if the larger second disc DIDN'T have holes drilled in it for the squirrel to use as hand-holds, it would be a sound design... What the hell are they there for anyway?
Because he didn't make this to prevent the squirrels from feeding, he made it for clicks and more clicks.
I was going to comment the same.
or maybe the fucktard didn't want the squirrel to suffocate. :·}
Two reasons I can think of off the top of my head: 1) Help prevent that one wheel from tearing down the whole line in strong winds; 2) The more holes in the wheel, the less overall mass/weight of it, all while still retaining it's structural integrity.
I think the squirrels enjoy a good challenge! 😁 Better off having a designated area just for squirrels because they always win! Lol 🌰🐿️
01:11 Foolish Humans, aren't aware that they are dealing with Squirrels from a Special Commando unit.....
Seeing this video makes want to root for the squirrel.
I was pulling for him the whole time!
These squirrels are quite intelligent. It seems that as they were trying to reach the seeds, they seemed to learn from the obstacles whenever they try to reach the bird seeds. I'm also amazed by how persistent and determined they are.
The squirrels are just LEARNING and, since there are no risks, they eventually figure out what they need to do. If you want to prevent squirrels, you've got to make the learning risky--incorporate some penalties as they learn, THEN you have a chance!
