I ordered this bird feeder from a catalogue of Susi's when I visited her last October. The catalogue said, "Squirrel proof" and they were right. As you can see in the second picture the openings are only big enough for small birds. The squirrel cannot get into the feeder, no matter how hard she tries. I have seen her, sitting on the newel post, swishing her tail in anger! I will say she once knocked it off the hook onto the ground. Still, the only feed she got was what fell out as the cage dropped and hit the dirt. The next time Bill was here, he pinched together the S-hook and now the squirrel can't knock it off. I can't knock it off!!
The second picture is empty of birds. I took it to show you the construction.
You can just see the top of the bird inside the cage in the picture below. It is VERY hard to get a picture of the birds because they fly away if they see any movement inside the house. I stood back a ways and put the zoom lens on in picture 2 but, just as I was ready to take a pic of 3 birds in the feeder, they all flew away! Darn!
I want to get a hummingbird feeder. I can imagine how hard it will be to get a picture of one of those!
