    Chain around a high up branch on a pully system tied to opposite tree that pulls the whole thing away from the tree. I have a setup sorta like that, works great. I have a cone followed by a 5gal pall upside down with the lip cut off, and my feeder under that. Bear, squirrel proof.

    I had a feeder sitting on the end of a 4x4 about 6 ft above the ground. When the squirrels started comiing I put a 4x4 hole in the middle of a 3 ft square piece of sheet metal and put it between the feeder and post supported by a few big nails. Squirrels would climb the post to the underside of the metal and couldn't do anything. The only ones who beat it did a huge jump from something nearby.

    This is so funny. Am mixing my bird seed, sunflower hearts and peanuts in a mixture of cayenne pepper and hot chilli powder. The squirrels hate it but the birds still eat the seeds without being put off. You could coat your feeder with the chilli cayenne mix to see if it stops them chewing on the plastic. It's worth a try.

    So fun to watch. You should put a "skirt" around the bottom edge of the cover. To make an umbrella type thing so it can help with keeping the rain out & keeping the food dry. I think the skirt would also increase the effectiveness of preventing any unwanted squirrel intrusions.

      My thoughts “exactly”, well, pretty much. Not only would I have the cover wide enough to keep the food dry, the cover would be dome shaped (fairly steep), and totally smooth so the squirrels would have a very difficult time sitting on it and there would be no toe/claw holds. Those modifications would most likely diminish the entertainment factor along with your seed budget. Love the video and your sense of humor - right in line with mine where those damn fuzzy-tailed rats are concerned. 🐿️ 🤬

    I thoroughly enjoy your videos on this. Quite funny. I handle squirrels much differently. It involves a $2500 air rifle with a $1000 night vision scope. My neighborhood was infested with these tree rats when I moved here 5 years ago. It is rare to see one now. You may think that 4 grand worth of air rifle is a bit much, but I also run a side business that involves sitting in local farmers' chicken and beef cattle barns eliminating rats in total darkness (Hense the night vision scope). Already got the tool for that so any and every squirrel that steps across my property line has made their last mistake. I do have foxes and coyotes in the nearby woods so they come in at night and take the bodies away.

    Very entertaining and good video, and good feeder deterrent too. They WILL break up the code, you know that, yes? Cannot wait for the next video. It took me sometime, but my pesky squirrels no longer come near my deck or feeders: they know they will be hosed down. I started with those machine-gun looking water guns but the water was not enough, so I switched to a real garden hose and it did the trick. Hope this will give you ideas for the next vid. Thanks for the chuckles!
