I did that but they get bored with it very quickly and just can't resist the challenge to make trouble and go right back to the bird feeders, I can relate to that, LOL!

I like the squirrels to ,but I filled up to bird feeders and a squirrel feeder night before last. when I got home from work all feeders were empty. Thats about
10# of bird food in one day.Hell I can't afford to bird watch at that rate.

Sunflower seeds went WAAAAAY up in price over the last year or so here and if I didn't use at least some squirrel proof feeders, I couldn't afford to feed the birds.

My late mother started a tradition of feeding the birds at the homestead so in her honor, I'm keeping the feeders stocked up for them and the occasional squirrel who can outsmart the squirrel proof ones.
