QUESTION:I've had good luck having a separate squirrel feeder so they don't bother
the hanging bird feeders too much.
The problem is, those greedy critters flatten themselves and go inside my
outdoor storage room and break into the bags of food.
But, I have to thank them for some things. When I'm running late in the
mornings and don't have time to refill all the feeders, they break in and
get at the bag of squirrel food. And I come home to find (spilling out from
under the door onto the patio) cracked corn and black sunflower seeds.
So the cardinals are happy as well. I even spotted a blue jay happily
munching away at this stuff; I haven't seen one for a while.
Now if the squirrels would only learn how to turn on the hose and refill the
bird bath so everyone could have a drink and a dip, I wouldn't have to do
much of anything.
ANSWER: I got some of those plastic storage bins with the snap on lids to
keep my seed stocks in, keeps the mice and squirrels at bay. Also use
them for the Dog and Cat food. Large ones will easily hold 50 Pounds
and makes it easy to dispense. Use a plastic 8 cup measuring cup to
fill the feeders with. Oh and the Squirrels LOVE the in shell unsalted
peanuts from the grocery store....left a bag I had gotten for ME
sitting on the car, when I came back for it the bag was opened and the
squirrels were VERY pleased with themselves!
