This has kept the squirrel out. squirrel proof feeders with a stove pipe over the pole. Works!

Trying a solution to keep squirrels out of the feeder that a customer says works. Suspend a piece of 4 inch galvanized pipe on the feeder pole with the bottom opening enclosed. Will let you know if it works

Elizabeth, that would be a "like" on the birdhouses!

Ha ha Rena, I may have to invest in one of those...just for more entertainment :)  I was thinking about putting out one just for them and put peanuts and corn in it.  But with my luck they'd go for both!  They are awful they always figure out a way to get to what I don't want them near.  i have bungee corded feeders before, lol.  I guess I need to just need to learn to deal with them...if they weren't such hogs it would be easier.

Good luck, Jamie!! I now have to bring the feeders in unless I'm outside!! Otherwise it'll be empty!!! I'm thinking of making one just for them on the far side of the lawn.... maybe they'll leave the others alone.... I can't get over how big and fat they are!!!
The birds seem to be waiting for me when I get home and put the feeders out, seems it takes longer for the squirrels to know when it's back out !

I just buy suet in bulk at Menards.  They have some there that is under a dollar a block.  I don't mind as much then if the squirrels get some.  My woodpeckers get plenty too.  It's when the starlings get going on it that drives me crazy.  They devour it far faster than the squirrels.  How come hawks always have to get the little doves and never the starlings? (referring to comments from the Birds in the Garden wall)

I asked this in another bird group too.  I was wondering if anyone has any idea's on how to keep the squirrels away from my suet feeder?  No sooner I put it out the squirrels get to it!
