How do you (or do you) keep squirrels away from the feeders? No Vested Interest Mar 2015 #16

A squirrel cage goes around the feeder Omaha Steve Mar 2015 #28

I definitely won't be making one; I prefer the looks of the baffles to the cages. No Vested Interest Mar 2015 #32

Never tried that Omaha Steve Mar 2015 #34

Feeders on poles away from trees fitted with lower baffles work the best. glinda Mar 2015 #49
