Obviously we have no squirrels here or it would be empty in minutes. We have five indoor cats that are all fixed & we have not seen squirrels here since we moved here five years ago! Amazing because we live in kentucky. Love your website! Thank You For Asking~ We have a small bird feeder held in ground about three feet high by a sheperds hook.

We have a few squirrels in the west Kootenays of British Columbia, and yes they are a problem. We have a trap,that does not harm the squirrel, but captures it so that I can release it on the other side of the river. This works well as I do not harm the squirrel yet I have eliminated the problem until the next one shows up. Most of the squirrels prefer my neighbours yard as he has nut trees. Lynn March 22,2008

I have counted around 23 different kinds of birds on our lot at different times. We have found that flying squirrls do the most damage to my bird houses. In of seasons ,they will rim out the intry hold and keep their babies in the bird house. We are constantly having to replace the front panel to the bird house. Last year I found and bought a few houses with a metal ring around the entry hole. Some birds want build in those. We have had sucess with discouraging squirrls by putting a thick grease (axel) about a foot or less on the pole that the feeder rest upon. We have watched them take a runing start up the pole;hit the grease and slide down and hit the ground real hard. Blue birds and American Finches are my favorite birds, although I feed all of them. I enjoy your website. Joyce We live on a 728 mile of convaluted parameter Lake in North East Alabama. I have counted around 23 different kinds of birds on our lot at different times.

In my kneck of the woods (perris ca) we have VERY few squirrels so we really have no problems. I own a couple of tube feeders and can barely keep them filled fast enough. In fact since we installed a large koi pond we have been attracting a few unseen before birds. Wen You sent me an email about comments on bird feeders and squirrels.
