Squirrel Proof ?
In the beginning I put my bird feeder about 2 feet from my privacy fence. Squirrels would climb up the privacy fence and jump onto the bird feeder and dine like they were kings. I moved the bird feeder next to my screen lanai (pool screen enclosure for my yankee friends), with the same result. I then decided to move it under an orange tree, again with the same result. After this final episode, I used my 4 lb. brain compared to the squirrel’s 4 oz. brain and moved it 3 feet from those types of areas. I found that the squirrels could not get up and around the plate, it was a barrier for them. Now if you like your bird feeder under the tree, I have had great success in sprinkling a small amount of cayenne ground red pepper in or around the bird feeder plate or mixing it with the seeds. Squirrels dislike it and the cayenne pepper in no way affects the birds. You will find it in any grocery store in the spice section for about $ 2.00 to $ 3.00. It truly works wonders.
Note: (I personally like squirrels).

Other Wildlife?
I would probably suggest that you DO NOT purchase one of our bird feeders if you have a problem with the following list of critters entering and feeding on your property. The following could damage or knock over your bird feeder.

Are they Sturdy ?
Oh yes, very sturdy. Again I live in Florida and
after 2 years I have never had my bird feeder fall
to the ground due to storms or winds up to 40 – 50
miles an hour. Not to say that a hurricane wouldn’t sweep them down the street. Needless to say, at that point I wouldn’t be worrying about the bird feeders falling down. |

Cleaning & Care of your Bird Feeder
As with any bird feeder that is exposed to the elements, over time they can get a bit messy.
To clean your bird feeder just take a sponge and wipe it clean.
Some people even take a paper towel and Windex and wipe it clean.
There is no need to take your bird feeder from it’s resting place.
