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.....
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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...
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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)
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
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
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.
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
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.
Wish that people would put more vids up about squirrels failing to get to the bird seed. SO FUNNY!
It's fun to watch squirrels try so hard again and again to get to a big stash of food.
Thank you! I thought my idea of squirrel-proofing a bird feeder was great, until yesterday, that is! It worked for two years!

I hope you get the shit knocked out of you the next time you go to eat...ASSHOLE!
I throw handfuls of peanuts in the yard for the wiry little "tree cats" when food is scarce.

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.🤣
I can't have one of these .
I'd never leave the window seat. I could watch all day.

That is genius Ideas!
Neat device. In my yard, we get mad when the birds steal our squirrel food. The blue jays are the worst offenders.
Squirrel: "HOLD MY BEER..."
Fool !
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
Yeah-- I usually laugh at "squirrel-proof" feeders; but that one looks promising.

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
Thx for the vid. I dn't mind feeding the squirrels, but they are wiping me out...

So much fun with the squirel.
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.
OMG! What a GREAT invention! Thanks So Much!
Thank you!! We appreciate your business!
Outstanding idea
What happens when a bear comes to feed
Just wait till those squirrels come back with a hammer.
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 ????
I LIKE THE TITLE MUCH
Nice - doesn't really hurt them, but it works!
They love to drop seed cones on peoples head and then laugh their orificees off !!!
How did it sound evil ?
... you made two noises
I want to see the birds get in.
That is so cool!
That's a smart way but I bet one of them will
All I have to do now is to find a way to keep the birds off of my squirrel feeder.
At 100 dollars I think it might be cheaper to let the squirrels steal the birdfood.
Can't find it on the web..would you happen to have the link by chance?

I tried this and the sqwiwel came at me with a knife....damn he one tuff mudda!
Squirrel says hete hold my beer...im going in.!!

can this be called crulity to squirrels
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.
I guess there are a lot of people on the internet who don't like squirrels. Hm. Okay. Whatever.
I actually chase birds away from where I feed the squirrels.
I am surprised the birds themselves can feed. 🤔
I got 2 of these....no more wasting seeds on the squirrels...rollerfeeder.com
You did not show any birds feeding successfully.
Get a squirrel feeder then?
Thistle seed is so small squirrels ignore it
Should have put a link in
It's called roller feeder..You can find their website online
Here you go! www.rollerfeeder.com/
You're laughing way too hard! But so am I! That was great. But do birds really climb inside that thing?
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!
just mix crushed red pepper in your bird seed squirrels don't like it but birds can't taste it
Did you ever see a mockingbird eat baby sparrows? It's not pretty.
How about a shot of BIRDS eating.
Brilliant!
The squirrels are only looking for food just like you do when you are hungry...
You could have at least shown a bird getting in and eating, DUHHHHH
Feed the birds and the squirrels there all family equal to each other stop being mean
I'm curious why people feed birds but not squirrels why is this?

She gets off on this obviously. That’s to bad. Poor old lady
Squirrels gotta eat same as worms
I LOVE squirrels! 🐿 I would rather feed squirrels than some poop dropping dumb birds!
That thing is not nearly as fun to watch as the spinner ones!!
So good nothing gets fed. Duh
Allan, wrong - the birds can eat.
Genius!!! ❤💗❤
that’s cruel and unusual punishment....💩
Feeder 1 squirrel 0 lol
Looks like a bar-B Q to mee
Put a tub full of water beneath it.
If your going to do photography, buy a Camera, and toss the cellphone.
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
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
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.
F
Why are birds better than squirrels? I think squirrel are cute. Never bothered me beside in the road. Birds are rats with wings.
If you feed the birds you might as well feed the squirrels to
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
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.
This is so mean
And you're so stupid.
I wouldn't expect a fat squirrel to like going on a diet. XD
Animals are not for your amusement.
Animal abuse
