Hints & Tips

• Squirrels are persistent creatures and will endeavour to get from the feeder. Additional measures to deter squirrels are:

• Ensure that the feeder is positioned away from neaby trees, if on a feeding station we recommend a squirrel baffle..

• As an extra deterrent to the Squirrels getting onto a feeder a tree hook can be used as this will increase the distance between the feeder and the hanging point.

• Provide a Squirrel Feeder for the Squirrels as this may encourage them to feed from their own specific feeder and leave the wild bird feeder alone.

• Add a dash of strong chilli powder to the seed mix. Squirrels do not appreciate the taste of the chilli powder, but birds are not bothered by it.

A note on Squirrel Protection*

* Although this feeder is squirrel and large bird proof we cannot guarantee that the juvenile squirrels and  younger large birds which are far more agile and lighter than the adult species wont be able to activate the ports.  Juveniles and young are more of a problem during the Spring and Summer months.
