Squirrel Proof Feeders / True Facts, Not Fiction
You are looking for a squirrel proof feeder, one that really works. You have tried all the models available at your local stores, but the squirrels are having a field day stealing all your birdseed. Is there really a squirrel proof feeder that stops these critters?
There are many different species of squirrels in the world, the most common in the Northern Hemisphere are the gray, red, fox, kaibab, douglas and pine squirrels. Each has it’s own traits and abilities. Some are great jumpers that can leap 10 feet vertically. Some have superior teeth that grow over 6” each year and need to chew on hard surfaces to keep them manageable and sharp. Developing a simple birdseed feeder that only feeds wild birds and not unwanted guests is the daunting task of manufacturers from all over the world.
With these facts in mind, it is not possible to expect a squirrel proof feeder to be 100% effective. At some point, some how, somewhere, someday, a squirrel is going to thwart a specially designed feeder and receive a birdseed reward. Once backyard birders come to understand this, feeding birds becomes the stress- free hobby it was meant to be.
A squirrel proof feeder should be designed so those critters are not able to dominate the time spent trying to obtain birdseeds. Decades of experience have taught us that any recommended squirrel proof feeder will be 95% effective, not 100%.
But how do you decide which squirrel proof feeder design is right for you? You first need to know what species of squirrels live in your habitat. If large squirrels plague you, then you may choose the caged-style squirrel proof feeders. These are designed so that only small birds can enter, not the larger squirrels. However, you will eliminate large birds as well.
If large and small squirrels are located in your area, you may choose the weight-activated squirrel proof feeders. Be sure that the models you choose have the ability to adjust the weight mechanism in a wide range of weights, not just a few. This gives you the ability to really control all the squirrels in your region, not just the heavy ones.
You can also choose the latest squirrel proof feeders that have hit the marketplace in the last few years, the “stinging” or “zapping” models. These employ a non-lethal shock to train any mammals to stay away. Birds’ physiological makeup prevents them from receiving a shock. These feeders provide an instant response to an unwanted behavior, whereas all other squirrel proof feeders require time and effort to be effective in the long term.
In a nutshell, you can provide a stress-free environment for your backyard birds without feeding the entire critter population. You first must know what animals you wish to repel and then match the squirrel proof feeder to your needs.
