There are Squirrel Proof Bird Feeders that collapse or spins as a result of the squirrel’s weight. Most bird feeders are made to only support the small weight of the birds. When a heaver squirrel tries to get the food, the squirrel’s weight will cause the squirrel proof feeder to spin resulting in the squirrel falling to the ground. There are caged bird feeders which only allows small birds to get inside the feeder. So those bigger squirrels are to big to fit through the small space provided for the birds.
Another way to Squirrel Proof Bird Feeders includes placing the bird feeder at a distance where the squirrel cannot reach the feeder. You should also keep the area around the bird cage clean so the squirrels are not attracted to the place. There are many companies such as Heritage Farms, and Duncraft that produce squirrel proof feeders that are durable and made of the best materials.
If you hang your feeder from a branch of a tree locate you need to make sure that it is at least 12 feet from the tree trunk and more than four feet above the ground. This should prevent squirrels from reaching the feeder by jumping up from the ground or from a tree.

The Duncraft is the way to go. Works really well, my grandpa bought a few of them.
Most bird feeders are made to only support the small weight of the birds. Very true.
My co-worker just setup his squirrel proof feeder in this backyard and mounted an internal web cam that streams online. Its pretty incredible.

Have you ever seen the Yankee Flipper Bird Feeder? It’s hilarious! Check out the video on YouTube by doing a search for Yankee Flipper.
The squirrel proof bird feeders construction means the feeder is virtually indestructible by squirrels.

Thanks for providing the information on various good bird feeders that are squrrel proof. I hadn’t heard about or seen them before.
You’ve about covered it all when it comes to squirrels. I like the caged effect around virtually all suet feeders too. Those make for some great videos and still shots of the frustrated squirrels too.
Happy Birding…. Rose
