The Squirrel is getting smarter

[@PerishNotToday]

It is amazing to observe the persistence of a squirrel that has full awareness of its physical limitation..

[@soylibre]

Or maybe is the fact that the squirrel is Not aware of it's physical limitations that makes it so persistent. how often I don't even dare to try something new because I'm too aware of my limitations but today I learned something new from a squirrel. Thank you squirrel. 😁

I love watching these amazing creatures! I honestly think that given enough time and an average squirrel or two, there is no such thing as a "squirrel proof" bird feeder. Eventually the squirrel will win.

[@WadcaWymiaru]

Spiky one...

[@erichanastacio9695]

I can design one... But it's gonna cost plenty. 1) pick a location far from any jumping spot. 2) a twenty foot long, three inch diameter pole is erected... with three umbrella-shaped canopies (2 meters wide) positioned at five, ten, and fifteen foot levels 3) at the top will be the bird feeder. 4) to reload birdfeeder, the pole can be tilted up and down like the flagpole where Steve Rogers got the flag.

[@myagrimm4719]

@@erichanastacio9695 I think the two 6ft canopies might turn some people away unless there's a way you could make them aesthetically pleasing and it seems it could easily get blown away considering the thin structure combined with the very large canopies. What about just a taller version of a bird feeder made out of a smooth material? The squirrel wouldn't be able to get a grip and the underside of the bath part on bird baths are typically sloped which would again prevent grip and act as a barrier

What a remarkable video!!!! Two slinkies, one small and one perhaps a half-inch larger diameter over the first one, both running all the way the bottom where the feeder is attached to the deck should work. with the present arrangement the squirrel has too much of a running start, and then his paws can step between the more tightly wrapped slinky. I guess the designer did not want to make it impossible for the squirrel! Of course, the additional strategy is to make the diameter of the first clear plastic food plate under the canopy even smaller. This entire contraption is ingenious!

Squirrels are wild animals in the food chain just as much as birds and as such deserve a fair crack at the seeds and, in so doing, gave a lot of pleasure as they overcome quite complex problems. Welcome all wild creatures with open arms and if they nick the birds' nuts, just replace it or consider a squirrel feeder maze!

@@royfearn4345 Are you chastising me, Roy? “A fair crack at the seeds.” 😳 There is a place for every creature on God’s great earth, but SQUIRRELS eating BIRD food from my feeder made to feed BIRDS isn’t it. As a single retired lady living on a slim income I cannot afford to feed SQUIRRELS, but I can afford to feed BIRDS. I spend my money on BIRDSEED, not SQUIRRELSEED. SQUIRRELS can sit and gorge themselves on my filled feeder leaving it empty by midday, whereas it will feed the BIRDS for 3 or 4 days. The BIRDS don’t even try to feed where the SQUIRRELS are. SQUIRRELS also are destructive to my feeder by gnawing the feeder holes to make them larger, etc. I don’t have the resources to “just replace it.” For me, feeding the BIRDS is a luxury.
