@@PurpleObscuration Oh god no, I agree with the others, sooo sick of music overlaying vids, or esp that hi-pitched squeaking/wheezing "laugh", or overly-dramatic "reactions" of PIP hosts, argggghhhhh !
Agree they seem to improve their strategies from year to year. For 8 years they couldn’t jump the 9 1/2 feet from fence to feeder on pole, this year the can.
I think none of us want to harm the squirrels, it's just they dump the seed, bury it in our flower beds, chew up the feeders. And, push the birds away.
i stumbled upon the perfect anti squirrel feeder long ago, on accident. my Ex girlfriend bought this hangar that is used to hang decoration on your lawn. its a solid piece of iron rod, with a bent top that is shaped like a flourish with a hook end for hanging things. it was super heavy duty & weighed about 50lbs & it only bent when a bear leaned on it. it was under an inch thick & rounded , not square , so like a long narrow pipe. it was over 6 feet tall. i stuck it in a bucket & hung a bird feeder from it for over 5 years & not once did a squirrel get to it. they ate the seeds on the ground, but couldnt climb it. they tried like hell for a while, but i guess it was too narrow, or they didnt like that it was stuck in a bucket & not the ground, either way it worked perfectly
This reminds me of the "Daylight Robbery" program that was made in Great Britain. They rigged up obstacles such as this one and made them increasingly harder as the squirrels figured them out. There was one mama squirrel who was especially talented, but she was very entertaining.
Plastic tubing 3/4 inch on both sides of three clothes line feeders worked for me. Blue Jays and blackbirds scatter black oil sunflower seeds under feeders. Squirrels and skunks provide clean up. So everyone is happy.
? so do all wild animals, but we can't feed them all, and the more we do, the more they lose their learned/innate survival skills, and the more they procreate leading to eventual overpopulation/nuisance/starvation anyway... they can't all be our "pets"...
Hanging bird feeders from trees is convenient but squirrels make this impractical. Bird Feeders need to be placed far enough away from homes and trees that squirrels can not jump onto them. Then drive a short section of thin, straight, pipe into the ground, long enough that it will reliably support a wider pole around it. Then get a 2" diameter section of PVC pipe approx 4 -5 ' long from Home Depot and place it over/around the thin diameter wrought iron post you are currently using. Squirrels can not climb wide diameter poles. I also have a baffle that sits atop the 2" diameter length and another narrower diameter section above the baffle and supported by it. I have multiple feeders supported by each pole. This also makes it easy to take down your feeders if you ever need to.
@@patperry1 There are squirrels in my neighbourhood that think nothing of going up a four inch diameter plastic drainpipe, greased, and jumping onto and penetrating a metal cage and eating my bird seed. Furthermore, there is hot chilli powder in with the seed and they're not supposed to like that either. I wouldn't mind but they eat the lot in one go and the birds go without.
Squirrels love peanuts and peanut butter. I began trapping squirrels at the base of my feeders 4 years ago thinking that if I disposed of a handful, they would all be gone. 280 squirrels later they continue to come! I think one of my neighbors is busing them in from somewhere else but I can't prove it.
Nope, they're too gluttonous to give up a food source. People think they're so intelligent but they're simply food driven and persistent. If they were smart they'd learn where they weren't welcome.
I made one of these and had hours of fun watching the squirrels being flipped off the wire and my neighbor said she had so much fun also watching the squirrels not making it to the bird feeder they do work
I've been sharing this idea for years, and have listed it on Quirky .com. I use 16oz empty water bottles, and stainless steel wire. The bottles have no problem spinning, and the squirrels eventually give up trying. This allows you to put your feeders anywhere on the line. I have thought of putting a light on the end which would act as a sort of Chinese lantern affect at night. After a rain storm some of the bottles will get water in them which can give of a prism like affect, and that is pretty.
I tried this way and thought i had won but eventually the wretch chewed through the cord and crashed the whole thing to the floor, broke the feeder and got all the seeds and peanuts which were polished of by the flaming pigeons.
I see ur point about them wanting to eat and they r cute, but they can be as destructive as rats when it comes to chewing. So sometimes I put seed out on the ground away from my feeders for them, LoL.
+Robert Clark I don't think gravity would help in that case. this one works because the squirrels weight makes the bottle spin. in the vertical case, the spin would be perpendicular to that, and thus the squirrel would probably just climb up.
No, it doesn't. They jump from the bottle on to the top of the feeder and hang from their little back paws over the side to reach the tray at the bottom
Your best solution for the squirrel problem is mix cayenne pepper and chili pepper Hot Chili Pepper it will not harm the birds the squirrels and all other Critters don't like it because it's too hot and they will leave your bird Peter alone
I'm the exact opposite, my house is a squirrel haven. Idk why people like birds over squirrels, you can tame and pet these cute cuddly guys, birds are boring.
If you are going to piddle with the camera, go ahead when you aren’t recording anything for your vlog. Practice your camera skills to get better and not having it go all over and stop the shakes. I like your vlog very much. I’ll subscribe and give you an high five. Looking for more and better vlogs from you!
The year is 2021. I am unable to harvest seeds from the birdfeeder. I have resorted to hunting birds. Turns out predation is OP. Squirrel now on fast track to being top n. American apex predator in 9 million years.

Thanks for not ruining it with music it was nice to hear the kids laugh
I’m glad I’m not the only one that doesn’t like music in videos
When the little girl says "too bad for him!" best part of the whole video!
@@nomusicrc,
I actually believe that clown music would have been ideal with the goofy 🐿️
I like music.
@@PurpleObscuration Oh god no, I agree with the others, sooo sick of music overlaying vids, or esp that hi-pitched squeaking/wheezing "laugh", or overly-dramatic "reactions" of PIP hosts, argggghhhhh !
Thank you for sharing! Ingenious! Was awesome to hear the kids giggle! Love this! Going to try this at home! Good luck! Such stinkers!❤
This was one of the best squirrel proof videos I've seen that works and is cheap and easy!
I did this a while back and continued to extend bottle. They continued to figure out how to adapt and get what they waned. They are relentless.
Agree they seem to improve their strategies from year to year. For 8 years they couldn’t jump the 9 1/2 feet from fence to feeder on pole, this year the can.
Good Job, guys! Simple, effective & inexpensive... Oh Yes!!
Simple and elegant! Post more vids of the squirrels! Glad that the Children like to watch.
Clever contraption. Good hearing the kids laughing and enjoying the show!
Nice idea, going to make a couple for the birds 🐤🐤🐤🐤 and leave 1 regular feeder just for squirrels and chimpmunks. 🐿
👍👍
I think none of us want to harm the squirrels, it's just they dump the seed, bury it in our flower beds, chew up the feeders. And, push the birds away.
Genius! Thank you. I am looking for a way to keep the squirrels from getting to my feeders via the clothesline. You nailed it!
Excellent idea and design! Mr. Squirrel is haveing a rough day !
We love watching your videos, I show them to all my friends. You can make them longer if you want we still will watch ! Good luck God bless 🙏
That's a good idea! Some might not want bottles in sight so some 1/2 inch plastic water pipe might work too.
This is an excellent example of how a squirrel uses its tail to balance. I wish I had a tail!

Love this easy, inexpensive way to squirrel proof! TFS.
I want to know if they figured out how to beat it seeing this was 10 years ago.
This made me laugh so much, thanks for sharing 😂😂
the squirrel master will be back............awesome video....
Damn, what a real man. Taking on squirrels is such a worthy endeavor. The squirrels got a family to feed too.
Al Sp damn straight fuck those thieving tree rats i shot one last week stealing my chickens feed
@@redrambler2000
I agree. I hate the little bastards.
? so do all wild animals, but we can't feed them all, and the more we do, the more they lose their learned/innate survival skills, and the more they procreate leading to eventual overpopulation/nuisance/starvation anyway... they can't all be our "pets"...
Great solution and thank you for the giggles.
Yep, the bad part is with all the shaking they still know plenty of seeds out and they go down to the ground and get them, they are RELENTLESS!
I love it! Can you make a video showing how you attached wire to trees and what you used. I want to hang suet logs on a line in my backyard.
Theyr so smart . i could watch this for hours
Squirrel stealing bird's food mission impossible😂
Yes, and the children are smart - they're trying to guess what the squirrel will do next, as well!

BIll's way is the way to do it. Birds don't like moving birdfeeders on strings.

This looks like a great idea!! Did the squirrel 🐿️ ever make it to the feeder? 😃
Best way to control pests. No casualties but job done.

Im getting some deja vu here
Bill Zardus-You may be right!
260!!??? Wow. How do you kill them?
Yes but what's your method of despatch?
Nope, they're too gluttonous to give up a food source. People think they're so intelligent but they're simply food driven and persistent. If they were smart they'd learn where they weren't welcome.

It appears that there is a bug on your window😁. I'll give it an A for trying and an F for failing ninja skills😉🤸.
I've been thinking of using monofilament 50 lb fishing line. Maybe they can't traverse that even without the bottle baffles.
Cutest baby peffy
That is slick idea! Thanks!
Amusing...I had fun listening to the kids.
I like the idea of M Smith, good. heart 😍....all breathing creatures get hungry ...squirels. as well....they are happy with an ear of corn
They get pretty crafty
Squirrel- slacklining 2.0 😂
Best one I've seen yet!!!
12 year old video & still good as brand new...
Is this one of those times that I get in early on a random video right before RUclips recommends this to the world and get 2k comments
I guess not...
@@Bevity lol nope!
My dad was trying to mess with the squirrels like this too lol...he hates them eating the bird seed.
That squirrel looks like it doesn't need any food from that Bird Feeder. He's pretty plump.
The squirrel is pregnant
Good design!
Great idea love it.
Squrill on high wire act funny lol
Beautiful!
Dont worry she is just talking her time for master the plan :-)
Loved this🤣 Great tip for my birdfeeders!!!! Thanks🙌

Success!! The squirrel's crime spree is over. LOL!
I like it. and its so funny a real squirrel battle for food.
I tried this way and thought i had won but eventually the wretch chewed through the cord and crashed the whole thing to the floor, broke the feeder and got all the seeds and peanuts which were polished of by the flaming pigeons.
That's funny! You are hilarious.
put a steel cord, like a laundry line
Glad I saw this.... we have suet on a pulley clothes line. I was wondering if plastic bottles will work like that....proof is in the video
Lol squirrels are adorable but can be pests ...the way you rigged that up is so great ...lol...i havent laughed so hard in awhile ...lol...
harold to squirrel says,, hay butch , u going with me to the feeder. No, not today my arms and legs are killing me from yesterday.
Maybe add some home made PVC blades to the bottles so they will spin with the wind and it will really give squirrels a hard time.
Mark Rober, sometimes the simplest of ideas are the best.😷
Use plastic pex pipe. Looks better. Nice idea though.
Birds: We have seeds 👏
Squirrel: But I don't have any & I'm hungry too..😢
Best easy way. Thank you
Interesting squirrels never figure to chew through the string
nice target
Great way 2 control these little guys, some people just don't understand, that, these harmless guys only want 2 eat just like them😕
I see ur point about them wanting to eat and they r cute, but they can be as destructive as rats when it comes to chewing. So sometimes I put seed out on the ground away from my feeders for them, LoL.
If ya paid attention you'd seen it's a pregnant , very pregnant squirrel
Good solution. Plus, its fun...
crushed red pepper will keep squirrel away but birds do not mind it
Really?

Has this continued to work for you? So far the methods I've tried have only outsmarted them for 3 days tops.
It worked for years. every once in a while we'd get a squirrel who figured it out but not often.
@@BrianBlais Thanks! I made my own based on this design after watching your video, and so far so good!
add more bottles, that helps!
Cool trick!
Squirrel Slinger approved!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Could you put a 2 liter soda bottle around a vertical feeder pole?
+Robert Clark I don't think gravity would help in that case. this one works because the squirrels weight makes the bottle spin. in the vertical case, the spin would be perpendicular to that, and thus the squirrel would probably just climb up.
Wondering if this would work if done vertically from tree. Good idea.
No, it doesn't. They jump from the bottle on to the top of the feeder and hang from their little back paws over the side to reach the tray at the bottom
Your girl is ten years older today.

Looks like a very pregnant female to me lol
The squirrel should simply chew thru the rope.

"Too bad for him" 😂😅 I wonder how old that child is now 🤣
Poor squirrel. She’s pregnant.
Winning! 👍🏾👍🏾
That squirrel looked a little fat anyway. Probably from stealing the neighbor's bird food.
Or maybe pregnant.
