Best anti squirrel bird feeder8/28/2023 DEBRIS BUILD UP SEEMS TO TAKE LONGER ALSO. AS THE SQUIRRELS WILL PULL SEED OUT OF THEM.=THE DRILL HOLES FOR DRAINING THE FEED TROUGH ARE TOO SMALL, I INCREASED THE SIZE AND THE SEED (BLACK OIL SUNFLOWER) STAYS DRYER AFTER RAIN. RACCOONS HAVE NOT BOTHERED THEM SINCE.=IF ONE POPS THE SLOT AND HOLES OUT FOR HANGING AND LATER POLE MOUNTS THE UNITS, BE SURE TO CLOSE THE SLOTS AND HOLE FOR THE HANGER. BUT THEY WERE EASILY BENT BACK TOGETHER AND ARE WORKING FINE. THEY TORE THEM DOWN AND BENT THEM UP PRETTY GOOD. (IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD UNITS WITH NO WINDOWS, I THINK THEY WERE BETTER IN THIS REGARD.)=RACCOONS GOT ON BOTH OF MY FEEDERS WHEN I WAS AWAY FOR A FEW DAYS. ALSO (AND MORE IMPORTANTLY) THE WINDOW EDGES GIVE THE SQUIRRELS A PLACE TO HANG FROM AND WORK THE TREADLE. I ASSUME THEY ARE TO SEE THE SEED LEVEL, THEY GET DUSTED OVER IMMEDIATELY, ONE CAN NOT SEE THE SEED IN THEM. THE FOLLOWING IS A FEW THOUGHTS ON THEM OVER THE YEARS.=THE SQUIRRELS WILL GET ON THEM AND WORK THE TREDDLE TO GET SEED. I HAVE HAD THESE FEEDERS FOR YEARS AND JUST PURCHASED THIS ONE FOR GRANDMA. It's also really good looking in my yard! I'm tempted to get another one based on the results so far. The Absolute Squirrel Proof Feeder seems to have the squirrels perplexed, and so far they have not been able to eat the bird food. The squirrels not only ate all the bird food from the old bird feeder, they broke the window. I recently purchased the Absolute Squirrel Proof Feeder since my last bird feeder from a different company didn't seem to work. I also love the dark green color and the house like shape. The squirrels sit or climb and stare longingly at it while the birds enjoy every really works. So ingenious! We enjoy the squirrels as much as we do the birds, so we just refill more often. A squirrel hangs on to the metal surrounding the window and avoids putting his weight on the bar. Unfortunately, the squirrels, terrific acrobats, have learned how to defeat the squirrel-proof part of the feeder. My wife and I enjoy looking at the variety of birds visiting our backyard to grab a bite. It has a very large capacity, so the need to refill it is diminished.
