The best and most squirrel proof feeder I ever saw was in a local guys backyard. He used an aluminum streetlight pole about 15 feet high. At the top there were 4 cross arms that 4 bird feeders hung off of. They were on pulleys and could easily be lowered for refilling. It was out of reach from any trees to jump onto , and being smooth aluminum, the squirrels and bears could not climb it .
I’m currently at war with a relentless squirrel. Your verbal expression & tenacity remind me of me. I could buy a baffle on amazon but I just know that little fucker will get around it. I have a dog who’s favorite past time is sitting at the back door watching for the squirrel so he can come get me to let him out & he can take off like a bullet (although he’ll never catch him he’s still proud of himself). I’m rigging up a contraption right now & had TH-cam on autoplay. I don’t want to spend any money (asshole’s cost me enough in bird seed) so I’m forced to get pretty creative. I’ve never wanted to beat an opponent so badly. God as my witness I REFUSE to be outwitted by a squirrel!
OMG!! I swear I haven’t had this good of a laugh in I can’t remember when!!😂🤣 I have a squirrel cult in my backyard that is doing the same thing and like most people who have commented here was also looking for an ingenious idea for how to keep them off the bird feeders when I came across yours. I absolutely loved this as this was definitely a clever idea!Watching you trying to figure everything out and go through the whole process was super interesting and so entertaining!😉👍🏻 Not only that but I think you’ve missed your calling as a movie maker/movie narrator!😍 This was absolutely hilarious and it got better and better as it went on. I especially liked how you went from “I like squirrels as I used to have a pet squirrel named Melvin” to “The little Fu&kers!”😂🤣 Please make more of these videos as this was really awesome!! I’m still laughing as I’m writing this!!❤️😂🤣
Not only do I want them off my feeders, I want then gone from my yard, flower garden which they are digging up my bulbs and burying acorns in it. They get on my porch and get in my vegetable garden and eat. I want them dead. They are leaving fleas on my patio furniture also.
I have a squirrel problems too right now with my feeders and been trying different things and those little f****** can jump pretty far. Haven't laughed so hard at a squirrel video since this one. Great job
Great idea and funny. I stretched a strand of #12 gauge electrical wire between 2 clothesline poles and hang everything on that. Suet cages birdfeeders, seed bells. One made it to the middle but did not last long. Another went about 3 feet and turned back. I used turnbuckles on eather end so I can loosen or tighten the wire. A little loose might be needed to make it more wobbly. I think putting springs on either end could make things interesting.
You made my day! Love your ingenuity.and your a comedian too! That last bird in the hail storm was one lucky pecker, under a big umbrella and a "party platter" full of food. Not a bad way to wait out the storm. Glass nut sack? Handle with care.
Oh my...you were so funny and I LOVE the feeder!! This was great to watch. Do a update video, if they even come around anymore. Brilliant idea!!! Thanks for posting, it was great to watch!!
This is one of the funniest I have seen. I just came across your video when I was looking for a squirrel spinner and had to watch this. I laughed so hard at the very first project when he tried to get back up the pole and got stuck that was hilarious. I also love the bird party platter that had me giggling as well. I enjoyed this so much I had to save it so I can watch it over and over. Thank you
@@dork3nergy i hope they never figure out that there is a way to defeat your contraption: by grabbing the counterweight wire and swinging onto the platter.......let's hope they stay resigned to failure and don't evolve a larger brain. PS: it's a very clever design!
The level of ingenuity is quite overwhelming for a back yard inventor i take my hat off to you sir bloody marvellous, If i lived in travelling distance from you i would definitely commission you to build one for me regardless of price!! If this product would ever go into production world wide it would be an overnight success!! Thankyou so much for sharing here from the uk!!!🇬🇧😃👍
I think they should offer classes at local colleges…..degree in squirrel dispatching. Many guys have spent lot of energy and time on how to not feed a squirrel! I love it !
I've discovered the best comedy on TH-cam are guys trying to make squirrel-proof bird feeders, especially this guy. He actually should make a patented version of this contraption and sell it because nothing on the markets seem to work.
Great video and an even better PSA on creative thinking and problem solving which is what our countries young people need training and experience with. Squirrels are very adept at creating solutions. I too have tinkered with the mechanical solution with some success however I did not anticipate their psych-ops capabilities... Now that they have been mechanically defeated they come to our picture window that we watch from, knock/pound on the glass to get our attention, hold their hands in prayer mimicking our prayer angels on the window sill and sit there until we are guilted into tossing them a nut... I tossed in the towel and pick up some nuts when buying bird feed. We get to enjoy the birds and so be it for having to pay off the little rats extortion fee. It’s the critical path of least resistance to support the birds when we have a foot of snow on the ground in Nebraska.. Looks like a great shop and would like to see more of your clever and real life engineering solutions. Thumbs up and subscribed!
I don't know how you don't have more subscribers, you're hilarious! One thing of note here though: Cost of materials for this build including tools and time: $1,000,000 Cost of enough bird seed to feed every bird and squirrel in Canada: $10 I only put the cost of materials so high because I'm assuming that AL OOH MINI UM is some kind of rare alloy that doesn't exist anywhere but in your workshop, and that must make it expensive.
Just the visual portion of this video is enough to make me laugh but your narrative had me in stitches! I’m jealous of your shop and your know how as well as your ingenuity. You obviously have tons of time on your hands and I loved it that you used it to thwart the effing squirrels!
Chipmunks 🐿️ 🐿️ we’re my bird feeder nemesis. 😡. I became a pellet pistol sharpshooter 😁 The grease didn’t work.. no birds were killed….I love your ingenuity and watching you create..✌🏼
Thoroughly enjoyed this haha. I had a similar project years ago but ultimately went with a squirrel baffle. Pesky squirrels are acrobats of the woods for sure!
@@geoffoutdoors Menards also has a plastic squirrel baffle that works for just over $10.00. You need about five foot of plastic pipe with the baffle on top, then finish off with a feeder. Also put some peanuts and sunflower seed a ways off from the feeder.takes their minds off of it enough to lower the percentage of their victory.
I modified my bird feeder about 30 years ago, quite simple, no squirrels are heart and they don't fall, the entertaining little animals no longer are able to get seed from the feeder, but the birds get all they want,I tried to patent it but the patent was very expensive so I just decided to keep the feeder in my own garden, willing to sell my idea to a genuine buyer, might save you going nuts.
This was the best thing I watched all day! YOU are #1, quite the engineer! #2, very entertaining #3, funny as fuck! Thanks for the laughs and the ideas!
This has been very entertaining. And apparently for the time being at least. It looks like you gave out smarted the pesty squirrels from the bird feeder . Great job , imagination and ingenuity .
I'm in hysterics!! 🤣😂😅 Watching and listening to all your puttering through this video has had me in tears and fighting for air! LMHO!! I could watch that squirrel with the lid all day!!! Hahaha!! And the eye of the squirrel with the background sounds! My aching sides!!! 🤣
Squirrels are such comical animals that the fun deterrent was fitting. Good job, good editing... you have the fun approach to problems like TOT, and the potty mouth of AvE.
A rubber O ring could've worked too... you know how many bird feeder manufactures have made " squirrel proof" bird feeders? You did a good job..hurry and patent it.
My favorite part was where he was so happy & clever about the little jar of balls as a counterweight...but then it fell and shattered and he laughed it off. 🤣🤣
Well, the current crop of squirrels have mostly given up on trying to get into the feeder. I might need to wait for the next generation to see what the come up with.
Thanks man! Watched it twice...completely hilarious both in the thought/build and squirrel vids. Only thing I could even possibly add, is replace the plastic tub with a metal round oil drain pan. Sooner or later these guys will chew a hole through the upper corner of the plastic cover and it'll be party on time. Other than that Great Job Bro! Laughed my butt off!
Hysterical video! I also call the squirrels “little fuckers” I’m pretty sure that they laugh at me, and continue on. I still think that they are cute, as they eat all of the bird food. My squirrels typically eat through plastic, destroying the feeders. I wish you luck with your inventions!
Oh! I love that invention of yours! I get so tired of watching good men lose their minds while building so many different types of bird feeders where zero squirrels are able to eat from it. Sigh. Yours even allows birds to have a reprieve from the rain! ❤
No squirrel here... Susa Valley, Italy ... but to much wind to have that kind of feeder. Last time mine lasted 3 days and one hour of wind. Lost 3 roof tiles as well!!! Thanks for the fun! I really appreciate the way you share what you do. I'll get inspired!!
Hi there. While I love the yankee engineering, I cam up with a much simpler system and have not had a squirrel in it for over 10 years. Step 1 - A fird feeder with a wood base 1.5 inches square. Next on the underside of this base, bolt thru a pipe flange across the cross center of the base. Next - from the home center, get a 4 foot diameter green plastic sewer pipe. Fasten on one end the end cap for this pipe. Drill a hole thru this end cap the diameter of the pipe. Next - drill 4 small holes at the either end of this pipe with about 5 inches of small chain, thru it with S hooks. Next, hang the chain with S hooks thru the undreside of the base, in 3 points, around the center of the pipe and down about 4 inches and attach to the pipe. The sewer pipe must be 4 inches so an adult squirrel can not get its paws around it and grip it. Finally, place the pipe and feeder in your lawn at least 10-12 feet from the nearest fixed object so squirrles can not make this leap to the feeder. This is 100% squirrel proof. Option 2 - purchase a Squirrel Buster Plus as seen on youtube. Next project for you - a Squirrel Under Glass feeder with a built in seed recovery hopper. Enjoy. Bob S
Man you make me laugh so hard my wife came downstairs and was wondering what the #$% is going on.Needless to say that I have exactly the same problem with those little fuk%$#s.God bless you my friend. Keep up the good work.
This has been the funniest TH-cam video ever!! I hate the squirrels too. I finally had my husband chop down my hazelnut tree because I could never in 10 years get any nuts.
I pulled up your video as we're having a squirrel war here, as we speak. It's like War of the Rose's at this point. Got a $10 baffle- and they chewed thru the acrylic base in less than 5 minutes. Now my guy designed a wooden plaque w/ butterfly metal screw contraption at base so one of these ass clowns is actually climbing to end of thin brach and it lets go so he falls directly on baffle and hops up to my precious seeds ( i love when you said squirrel crack) so now I'm going to trim tree limbs and/or move bird feeder. I am contemplating a .22......
I swear they see birds 🐦enjoying food and it triggers them. They can't stand to see birds eating no struggle 😂🤣😅🤗🤗. More girth on the pole so they can't get their arms around helps too.
I had a similar arrangement but when thr squirl jumped on the top it would cause the lid to go down so fast the cable jumped the pully and got between the pully and sheave and it would jam. I cut a small piece of polly and wedged it aboue the pully and there was no room for the wire to get out of the pully groove. Squirls are amazing how smart they are!
A simpler solution is a #110 Conibear (with a peanut butter cup attached to the activator) placed at the approach to the pole. Squirrels will lose interest in your party tray and end up in your crock pot. You get the added pleasure of snacking on the delectable “Chicken of the Trees” while bird watching.
14:26 I love the ingenuity of your plan and how you create your own parts, but already I think the squirrel can jump from the pole sideways directly to the tray without putting weight on the cover.
Nice job. I have pole and hang my feeders. Menards has a baffle you can put on the to keep off squirrels and raccoons. They fall off safely due to the baffle being smoothe and not level.
The best and most squirrel proof feeder I ever saw was in a local guys backyard. He used an aluminum streetlight pole about 15 feet high.

You are overthinking this. Just get a squirrel-proof feeder. But this was funny as hell. Thank you.
Hi there. While I love the yankee engineering, I cam up with a much simpler system and have not had a squirrel in it for over 10 years.
Step 1 - A fird feeder with a wood base 1.5 inches square.

Next - from the home center, get a 4 foot diameter green plastic sewer pipe.
Fasten on one end the end cap for this pipe.
Drill a hole thru this end cap the diameter of the pipe.
Next - drill 4 small holes at the either end of this pipe with about 5 inches of small chain, thru it with S hooks.
Next, hang the chain with S hooks thru the undreside of the base, in 3 points, around the center of the pipe and down about 4 inches and attach to the pipe.
The sewer pipe must be 4 inches so an adult squirrel can not get its paws around it and grip it.
Finally, place the pipe and feeder in your lawn at least 10-12 feet from the nearest fixed object so squirrles can not make this leap to the feeder.
This is 100% squirrel proof.
Option 2 - purchase a Squirrel Buster Plus as seen on youtube.
Next project for you - a Squirrel Under Glass feeder with a built in seed recovery hopper.
Enjoy.

You need to make a video my friend.
I really loved your video. You remind me so much of my husband. Same ingenuity and sense of humor. Had me laughing.
Great idea and thank you so much for the laughs. I can’t wait to share this video 😂
This was more than extremly satisfing! Well done!
Hilarious! I'm guessing they'll figure out to jump from the pole to the party platter. Darn, have to wait for part II to find out.
Always enjoy tinkerers at work. My Dad was a tinkerer.
Man you make me laugh so hard my wife came downstairs and was wondering what the #$% is going on.Needless to say that I have exactly the same problem with those little fuk%$#s.God bless you my friend. Keep up the good work.
Brilliant update! Many thanks
At 17:24.... I’m imagining a squirrel riding down the lid to trap the birds eating his food. An emergency escape hatch?
Love this video and how you refer to those buggers when they get on the feeder, :)
Well done. Thanks for the laughs.
LMFAO, very entertaining video, you and the squirrels 🤣
The lid works as protection from hail as well! Bravo!
Fabulous! Hail proof for the birds, as well! You are the Mark Roper of Canada!
You've gotta produce this and patent it! I want one.
This has been the funniest TH-cam video ever!! I hate the squirrels too. I finally had my husband chop down my hazelnut tree because I could never in 10 years get any nuts.
Greetings from the BIG SKY. I have found very intelligent squirrels up here.
This guy is a genius…..creative ideas are incredible. He as to have an engineering background. This was very funny….he’s giving me ideas !
No engineering background which means if I can do it, anyone can. Thanks for watching.
I love your video! Squirrels are very smart! And funny when we out smart them! Lol
So many electrical components, but no electricity? I'm thinking cattle fence charger on the metal pole (use fishing line to support the feeder).
Great job , may be a little lower on the lid so rain won't spoil seeds, great job, but now my wife wants me to make one,
Thanks. I agree about the lid, it could be a bit lower.
This was ingeniously hilarious ! 👏🏼😆
Oh he’s DEFINITELY thinking about it ! Oh yes he is !😂 And YES THAT tail wag is a very angry one !
Good job! Now come and fix my problem with 3 squirrels!
I pulled up your video as we're having a squirrel war here, as we speak. It's like War of the Rose's at this point. Got a $10 baffle- and they chewed thru the acrylic base in less than 5 minutes. Now my guy designed a wooden plaque w/ butterfly metal screw contraption at base so one of these ass clowns is actually climbing to end of thin brach and it lets go so he falls directly on baffle and hops up to my precious seeds ( i love when you said squirrel crack) so now I'm going to trim tree limbs and/or move bird feeder. I am contemplating a .22......
Hahahaaaaa, good luck
I found this entertaining and informative. You are very inventive! I am looking for the update you mentioned in this video. Did you ever make one?
There is an update!
Figuring out the idea and then building it is always the fun part.
To much !! Hahahaha omg the music , the entertainment is amazing ! You should charge admission !
Brilliant design.
Hilarious 😂! Bravo 👏🏽
Drill some holes in the bottom of the feeder to drain any water from the rain. Good job on the squirrel proofing of the feeder. 👍👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Excellent idea. Cheers.

Sounds funny, but what is a conibear?
Lol great invention I ever seen. Best one so far. Yes, do let us know when they figure it out.
As of today we're still golden.
I love it. I watched from start t finish.!!👍👍

14:26 I love the ingenuity of your plan and how you create your own parts, but already I think the squirrel can jump from the pole sideways directly to the tray without putting weight on the cover.
You would think that but no one ever has. There must be something in their brain telling them not to try it.
@@dork3nergy which is pretty amazing for a brain smaller than a walnut.
I can't believe I gave up Facebook to watch how to defeat a squirrel from getting into the bird feeder I have been laughing all night
Nice job. I have pole and hang my feeders. Menards has a baffle you can put on the to keep off squirrels and raccoons. They fall off safely due to the baffle being smoothe and not level.
