If you love to put out bird feeders for the birds in your area you will find out that in most instances where there are birds there are squirrels. While the birds and the squirrels in general live in peace, your bird feeder may not. If you come home to find your bird feeder vacant day after day but the birds are still waiting for food you might have an issue with squirrels. Squirrels promptly learn how to use the bird feeders and they get the seed before the birds can consume it.
Instead of filling and refilling those bird feeders, look at purchasing squirrel proof birdfeeders. These actually do work and will allow you to continue to pull in the exquisite birds while keeping the squirrels away.
Squirrel proof bird feeders function like most birdfeeders, but when the birdfeeder is weighted down too much the squirrel proof birdfeeders will actually have a device that will lock the food down. In other words, a shroud will cover the openings where the seeds come out so the squirrel cannot access the seed. This will permit the birds to carry on feeding in peace without having to worry about the squirrels stealing their food.
Of course, because these units work on weight you might find out that the shroud comes down when very large birds try to feed from the feeder. The good news is that the majority of seed eating birds will be able to carry on to enjoy the seeds supplied by your feeder. There are many different manufacturers that provide the squirrel proof birdfeeders.
With so many diverse options to pick out from, if one doesn't fit your needs, another most emphatically will. One of the most well known squirrel proof bird feeders is the Droll Yankee bird feeder, which has outstanding consumer ratings.
