Fun with Squirrels

- Searching for bird feeder squirrel-proofing options, I came across the Roller Feeder website and ordered one. I've been having a blast watching the squirrels try to figure a way into the birdseed and just getting themselves dumped on the ground for their trouble. I'm so impressed with the ingenious design, solid construction and squirrel-confounding entertainment that I just wanted to share - but I receive no benefit, financial or otherwise from this recommendation.
Because the design is a bit different, some birds are a little shy at first. They say that cardinals are the last to figure it out, but I had chickadees and gold finches using it the same day I hung it up so I'm sure that in the next week or so, just about everybody will have figured it out. The feeder keeps out larger nuisance birds like crows, grackles and blue jays, plus red squirrels and raccoons - though so far, I haven't seen any of these trying it.
The squirrels used to clean out my previous (supposedly squirrel-proof) feeder in two days, so I expect the seed savings to be huge. The company says the feeder will pay for itself in birdseed savings in something like 3 months or less which seems likely.

Thank you! I thought my idea of squirrel-proofing a bird feeder was great, until yesterday, that is! It worked for two years!
It's fun to watch squirrels try so hard again and again to get to a big stash of food.
I just discovered this past time for golden era folks. I think this is great...i have acreage full of the critters...a couple that have been around for years. At 60 they entertain beyond imagination
That's slick!! I had a wooden feeder that I put nails on leaving them standing - wrapped wire from one nail to next- ran extension cord into house - watched / waited - when Mr Squirrel got on it I plugged 'er in --zip zap zoom! Wouldn't ya know it? Squirrel would climb on feeder and was very careful that none of his legs touched the wire / nails!! Smart lil' buggers.....
I hope you get the shit knocked out of you the next time you go to eat...ASSHOLE!
Wish that people would put more vids up about squirrels failing to get to the bird seed. SO FUNNY!
I like the spinning ones as well. They allow for really funny videos.
I was crying laughing
Almost as fun as turning a clay pigeon launcher into a squirrel launcher.🤣
Outstanding idea
So much fun with the squirel.
i hung a feeder from a cable a good piece from a tree and the squirrels would not mess with it but neither would the birds. i have had several seed feeders hanging around at various points and the birds never messed with any of them. i guess the seeds were bad.
The cool thing about this feeder is that although a couple of the videos show them hanging way out from any vertical object (tree trunk , etc) you actually can mount fairly close to both horizontal and vertical ingress routes, and the squirrels still cannot defeat. I've had one for 9 years and it has saved me lots in seed, although I do have very hungry birds cardinals, bluebirds, woodpeckers, and nuthatches, and other smallish birds. This will not feed anything much larger than a cardinal. Raccoons can defeat it, but they have those little human hands so it's near impossible but mine only come around a couple times a year, after I pout red cayenne pepper in the seed they don't come back.
get a squirrel baffle or a hanging dome baffle and install the feeder from a pole with an arm and a hook. Make sure to keep the pole away from all trees, fences, furniture- anything the squirrel can use to launch itself from and jump onto the pole ABOVE the baffle.
@@lrdlrd772 I have mine hanging from a pole and it works great!
That is so cool!
I bought one...Love it...saving so much on expensive bird food
I don't really know anything about squirrels but from what I see of them in my yard they seem to eat a ton of food so I would imagine this kind of feeder would save you from having to constantly refill it.
Thx for the vid. I dn't mind feeding the squirrels, but they are wiping me out...
That is genius Ideas!
They are so funny! Have you seen the "Twirl-a-squirrel" ? Very effective and hilarious, and doesn't hurt them, except if they hang on they will get dizzy, and that's funny too!
I LIKE THE TITLE MUCH
Brilliant!
Can't find it on the web..would you happen to have the link by chance?
There are all kinds of bird feeders to deter the squirrels. This one looks pretty cool also. You need another video of more of the squirrels and birds in action on this bird feeder. thank you for the video. Ah I see this video is a 2012 video. you may not even have this item or be on youtube anymore
OMG! What a GREAT invention! Thanks So Much!
Thank you!! We appreciate your business!
Yeah-- I usually laugh at "squirrel-proof" feeders; but that one looks promising.
Half the fun of a new "squirrel-proof" feeder is watching the squirrels figure it out...
The squirrel quickly learns to hold on with their back feet and with their hands they pull seed out of the feeder and eat. HAHAHAHAHA
I want to see the birds get in.
I'm here to say squirrels are highly intelligent and fun loving and playful. And they are the most important food source for things like hawks, bobcats and other predators. They also play an important role in nature by populating forests and other types of trees and plants when they bury seeds. You can kiss goodbye lots of beautiful wild life and nature if there are no squirrels. They prey on no other animals. Wildlife preys on them.
I agree with you as far as the USA is concerned, but the American grey squirrel has invaded the UK and is a huge pest. So much so that it is illegal to let one go if it is caught in a trap, or for a vet to treat one. It's all part of the European Squirrel Initiative to protect our native reds.
They kill young trees by ring-barking them, they carry squirrel pox which has all but eliminated the native red squirrel and they also eat fledglings. They'll steal the young bird out of the nest and sit there chewing on it whilst it's still alive!
Now, all this would normally be nature taking its course (red in tooth and claw etc,) but unfortunately the grey is an alien invader as far as we in the UK are concerned and being out of place and causing havoc, we're trying hard to eradicate them bye trapping, shooting and by any means possible.
I throw handfuls of peanuts in the yard for the wiry little "tree cats" when food is scarce.
I can't have one of these .
I'd never leave the window seat. I could watch all day.
Squirrel: "HOLD MY BEER..."
Fool !
Neat device. In my yard, we get mad when the birds steal our squirrel food. The blue jays are the worst offenders.
Nice - doesn't really hurt them, but it works!
I have 3 of these. High quality, but easily defeated by the squirrel coming down the wire upside down and reaching right into the seed bin. Then it's just hand to mouth. Empties the thing every night.
All I have to do now is to find a way to keep the birds off of my squirrel feeder.
I can't see how the birds would get to that seed though.
Most birds don't weigh enough to trigger the spinning.
Lorna Murdoch Eaton .......for real ????
Astronaut training for squirrels!
Genius!!! ❤💗❤
can this be called crulity to squirrels
You're laughing way too hard! But so am I! That was great. But do birds really climb inside that thing?
where can I get that feeder ?
Please visit us at www.rollerfeeder.com/!
Do you know how to use google? She tells you the web address at the end.
does this work for nasty Blue Jays? (which are nothing more than a blue-colored Crow, as they are in the same family and both attack and eat other birds)
Yes, it very well should...please visit us at www.rollerfeeder.com!
I tried this and the sqwiwel came at me with a knife....damn he one tuff mudda!
They love to drop seed cones on peoples head and then laugh their orificees off !!!
I’ve got something similar I use on birds. It’s fun watching them not being able to get food. Now maybe they’ll stop shitting on my car
I got 2 of these....no more wasting seeds on the squirrels...rollerfeeder.com
Squirrel says hete hold my beer...im going in.!!
Does anyone know why squirrels exist, any way? Do they actually have some beneficial role in the ecosystem?
... I think they are on a par with mosquitoes as far as usefulness goes.
Should have put a link in
It's called roller feeder..You can find their website online
Here you go! www.rollerfeeder.com/
What happens when a bear comes to feed
Just wait till those squirrels come back with a hammer.
That's a smart way but I bet one of them will
How did it sound evil ?
... you made two noises
Yeah, that's neat, but I love the squirrels & so do my small dogs, they wear themselves out, trying to catch one... it will never happen. We feed the birds on metal post bird feeders, the squirrels can't rob them. To each his own, but I would hate to see one of my squirrels get hurt.
if you use a free standing iron bar, under an inch thick, rounded no squirrel will ever climb it. you could put a paper plate flat on top with seed & they'll never get to it. i live in the deep woods & i had my feeder out all year for 5 years, not one time did a squirrel get to it. it was a single piece of iron, 6+ feet tall, that was the thickness of a sharpie marker. its impossible for them to climb
I will take 1 dozen
At 100 dollars I think it might be cheaper to let the squirrels steal the birdfood.
How about a shot of BIRDS eating.
all you need to do is what I do cuz I add cayenne pepper and Hot Chili Pepper to the bird feeder it will not harm the birds the squirrels and chipmunks and feeling like it's too hot for them they will leave the bird feeder alone and will not come back
Did you ever see a mockingbird eat baby sparrows? It's not pretty.
You did not show any birds feeding successfully.
The squirrels are only looking for food just like you do when you are hungry...
well thats a neat device.. but I find my modified .22cal airgun much better at dealing with them.
I find if you put a shot right beside them enough they never come back because they had the shit scared outta them....
if they persists, well I wont miss intentionally and the local gators get a free meal.
I actually chase birds away from where I feed the squirrels.
just mix crushed red pepper in your bird seed squirrels don't like it but birds can't taste it
this is sad no clue on the brand name or the name of this birdfeeder to look it up to buy?
no source were it sold at, my guess this is home made due to that. good luck with that
Chief Adfp ....at 1:36 shows she bought roller feeder from rollerfeeder.com
Are you blind and deaf?
Yes, that's correct, please visit us at: www.rollerfeeder.com!
Feed the birds and the squirrels there all family equal to each other stop being mean
Get a squirrel feeder then?
You could have at least shown a bird getting in and eating, DUHHHHH
So good nothing gets fed. Duh
Allan, wrong - the birds can eat.
I am surprised the birds themselves can feed. 🤔
Looks like a bar-B Q to mee
She gets off on this obviously. That’s to bad. Poor old lady
Put a tub full of water beneath it.
Thistle seed is so small squirrels ignore it
I feed the squirrels, too. What’s wrong with that? I don’t allow them on the feeders. I throw out sunflower seeds and peanuts for them every day or so. They are little sweethearts.
I guess there are a lot of people on the internet who don't like squirrels. Hm. Okay. Whatever.
That thing is not nearly as fun to watch as the spinner ones!!
Squirrels gotta eat same as worms
F
The squirrels are way cooler than the birds
You are so right and lately I'm seeing people torturing them and shocking them what is wrong with people there's that should be illegal especially put on TH-cam
Feeder 1 squirrel 0 lol
I'm curious why people feed birds but not squirrels why is this?
Our problem is raccoons and squirrels eat all the bird seed.
My solution is a round glass table top on top of a post with the feeders sitting on top of the table top.
They can climb the post but can't get past the glass.
The squirrels are also low life.
They can see the bird seed, but cannot eat it.
The glass top foils them also.
What do you mean low life I absolutely love squirrels way smarter than cats and they can live up to 20 years and they can also purr when you pet them I put bird seed in the bird feeders and I put peanuts almonds walnuts in the squirrel feeders and most of my squirrels eat on my leg anyway they like to sit on me which I absolutely love too!!
@@gudgen2004 Damn squirrels chewed the wiring in our last house. Perhaps they have not been in your attic. They chewed the ceiling tiles and chewed the wiring on my neighbors cars.
Clearly low life.
Wow I'm sorry to hear that I guess I would consider them pests 2 if I were you that's unfortunate where I live there very wonderful animals they don't bother anything they don't hurt anything I've never heard of any of my Neighbors complain I live out in the woods in fact the town I live in has a population of 1500 if you look at some of my videos you will see my pet squirrels that I play with they don't even bite I can hand them food all the time and they don't bite if I don't have any food in my hand at all and I stick my finger out she kisses my finger so cute
@@gudgen2004 I promise to not bother your pets.
If your going to do photography, buy a Camera, and toss the cellphone.
let the birds feed themselves. problem solved.
What about the squirrels?
They all live together in the wild what's the big deal about a squirrel eating some bird seed
Tana, you obviously never fed birds near squirrels. Squirrels are so greedy & impatient that they destroy feeder after feeder, so the end result is $100 loss & no birds get fed.
They eat it all and just take it and bury it. Nothing for the birds.
If you feed the birds you might as well feed the squirrels to
Why are birds better than squirrels? I think squirrel are cute. Never bothered me beside in the road. Birds are rats with wings.
This is so mean
And you're so stupid.
I wouldn't expect a fat squirrel to like going on a diet. XD
i don't see how the birds get in, but i prefer the squirrels over birds, they need to eat too! this is really cruel
I LOVE squirrels! 🐿 I would rather feed squirrels than some poop dropping dumb birds!
We don't prank squirrels here us niggas eats dem ain't no squirrels withing 10 miles white folks like yall prank Dem black people put em on day plate
that’s cruel and unusual punishment....💩
Animals are not for your amusement.
These things should be banned and the owners arrested for animal cruelty.
David Mizell are you on crack? I see no abuse, moron.
Should a person be arrested for killing a mosquito?
Leafyr Oakfyst You don’t see too good, do you moron.
Friend Wilkins what a dumb comparison.
Time for your meds.
Animal abuse
