There are several species of ground squirrels and tree squirrels in North America that can create problems for bird enthusiasts. If you have squirrel problems, a squirrel proof bird feeder can be your best solution. Fox squirrel and the Eastern and Western gray squirrels are the species of tree squirrels are most commonly involved with the cause of the problems for homeowners and bird observers.
Squirrel-proof bird feeders come in a variety of shapes, sizes and styles. Ranging from the weight of activated hopper feeders such as the Super Homestead Stop-A-squirrel feeders simple roof spoiler. For the backyard birder severe Droll Yankees' Yankee Flipper that uses a battery-operated devices, activated by the weight of a squirrel, a (harmless) to promote the squirrel out of food.
One of the main problems of birders have with squirrels is that the squirrels to take over the feeders and scaring the birds. But it is this is not the only problem. The squirrel's diet consists mainly of nuts, fruits and buds of plants, seeds and flowers, depending on the season and what is available locally. However, squirrels are not vegetarian. They also eat eggs and chicks of birds that are going to snatch the right of an aviary. They can jump on the birds at feeders also unprepared.
There are two clear strategies to solve the problem of keeping the squirrels away from your feeders and birdhouses. You Can Prevent (CUTE) annoying rodents have access to their treasures, or you can give them a better alternative place to dine.
We will deal with the prevention strategy in first. There are some very simple ways to keep their houses and bird feeders squirrel safe from damage. And let me add here that it is essential to keep their homes safe from bird predation as possible. You can create your own predator guard of my plans or you can buy squirrel screens, which come in a variety of styles, sizes, shapes and colors.
What we do is keep squirrels away from your feeders and birdhouses from the beginning. Squirrels are very persistent and once they find an easy source of food, try to overcome any obstacle that can be put in their way.
Squirrels are very agile and can jump eight feet or more and climb almost anything. For this reason alone, if you have problems with squirrels in the garden, keep your bird feeders and birdhouses at least eight feet away from any branches of trees or manmade structures, and installation of screens on the pillars of support.
If you must hang your feeders birds in the trees, you have to keep them away from the main trunk and equip them with a dome baffle or simply use a squirrel-proof bird feeder that is designed with a superior vault.
Another popular style of squirrel proof bird feeders are caged feeder. Caged feeders consist of a feeder which contains the seed inside, surrounded by a wire cage that keeps squirrels from reaching the seed. Simply put the food out of reach the hungry squirrel.
Even the most persistent squirrels must be opposed by any of these squirrel-proof bird feeders or feeder baffle combinations. So let's consider the second strategy to give the squirrels a better alternative to their bird feeders or birdhouses for their banquets.
This strategy is in the creation of a squirrel feeding station somewhere away from your bird feeders with food that I like squirrels. There are several feeders different squirrel that not only let the squirrels enjoy nuts, sunflower seeds and fruit they like best, there are some that let you see their antics as that feed on one of their favorite foods, corn on the cob.
So if the squirrels love or hate 'em, here are some solutions to the dilemma of "squirrel" faced by many birders. You may even have some new ideas on how to live with the squirrels and birds to keep their homes and bird feeders off-limits to these cute, furry animals.
