(More customer reviews)Last one lasted us ten years and five drops by a raccoon that figured out how to lift it out and get to the food. The sixth did it in. This one is getting a lock and clip. Figure that one out buddy!
We got this feeder not because of the squirrels but due to Grackles (an annoying, gluttonus large black bird whose feathers look purple or blue in the sunlight they're so dark). Those stinkers were sticking their beaks in and raking a bunch of seed out onto the ground for their buddies who were waiting. They'd empty a regular feeder of 2 lbs of seed in less than an hour! This feeder comes with the spring on the tightest setting, supporting the most weight. Move the spring to the next hole over until you find the right spot for you. For us, we wanted a cardinal or smaller to be able to use it, but not the grackle or larger. No problem whatsoever. After a week of trial and error, those pesky grackles were mightily confused when they landed and the food was cut off!
I have watched dozens of squirrels try to get in it, and none are successful. Most slide right off the roof. We had mounted it on a tree where the cats could see it, so the hanger wasn't an issue. If you have highly gymnastic squirrels, you're going to want to get the one on the post so there's no hope of hanging from back legs over it. I went to Wild Bird's Unlimited and their suggestion was to only feed safflower. Which on the surface seemed to solve the problem, but is three times more expensive than the custom mix I do, and I want there to be something for everyone in there.
Seriously, this thing works...
