@@dork3nergy Hope that You will have some more vids of the squirrels trying to get to the goodies and FAILING That sparrow (?) was pretty smart to move further under the tray cover and wait out the rain!
@@dork3nergy Hope that we will have FUTURE entertainment with the greedy tree rats! Maybe the Fox will learn how to catch squirrels when they fall? That might get a bit gory? BUT? If he squirrel plays stupid games?? BE WELL & SAFE!
well, you've successfully created a "Squirrel Enrichment and Activities" center for your neighborhood! :) I think the second little tree rat was an engineer - I think he took notes! :)
This is fun to watch...glad you did the update. I have those pesky creatures in my feeders too. You should patent your feeder and market it. I would buy one!
Got a lot of laughs watching both your videos. This one and the one before this. It is amazing how those little rats can figure out stuff. Thanks for sharing.
🌰 🥜 aauugh, i HATE tree RATS, they're sooooo ANNOYING and they DESTROY My pretty plants/flowers And they EAT ALL of My chicken's food, i want ALL of Them GONE! 🤬 But HOW can i get RID of ALL of those tree RATS!?!? 🐿 I CAN'T stand Them at all, LOL. 🙄 🤨
OMG. Watched both of your videos on the unbreachable bird feeder. They were awesome. Laughed my ass off. Hope you have more. Your hilarious 😂😂😂. Plus the would love to see more videos of the squirrels trying to get into the feeder lol 😂
I had a feeder sitting on the end of a 4x4 about 6 ft above the ground. When the squirrels started comiing I put a 4x4 hole in the middle of a 3 ft square piece of sheet metal and put it between the feeder and post supported by a few big nails. Squirrels would climb the post to the underside of the metal and couldn't do anything. The only ones who beat it did a huge jump from something nearby.
Very entertaining and good video, and good feeder deterrent too. They WILL break up the code, you know that, yes? Cannot wait for the next video. It took me sometime, but my pesky squirrels no longer come near my deck or feeders: they know they will be hosed down. I started with those machine-gun looking water guns but the water was not enough, so I switched to a real garden hose and it did the trick. Hope this will give you ideas for the next vid. Thanks for the chuckles!
Chain around a high up branch on a pully system tied to opposite tree that pulls the whole thing away from the tree. I have a setup sorta like that, works great. I have a cone followed by a 5gal pall upside down with the lip cut off, and my feeder under that. Bear, squirrel proof.
This is so funny. Am mixing my bird seed, sunflower hearts and peanuts in a mixture of cayenne pepper and hot chilli powder. The squirrels hate it but the birds still eat the seeds without being put off. You could coat your feeder with the chilli cayenne mix to see if it stops them chewing on the plastic. It's worth a try.
So fun to watch. You should put a "skirt" around the bottom edge of the cover. To make an umbrella type thing so it can help with keeping the rain out & keeping the food dry. I think the skirt would also increase the effectiveness of preventing any unwanted squirrel intrusions.
@@dork3nergy My thoughts “exactly”, well, pretty much. Not only would I have the cover wide enough to keep the food dry, the cover would be dome shaped (fairly steep), and totally smooth so the squirrels would have a very difficult time sitting on it and there would be no toe/claw holds. Those modifications would most likely diminish the entertainment factor along with your seed budget. Love the video and your sense of humor - right in line with mine where those damn fuzzy-tailed rats are concerned. 🐿️ 🤬
I thoroughly enjoy your videos on this. Quite funny. I handle squirrels much differently. It involves a $2500 air rifle with a $1000 night vision scope. My neighborhood was infested with these tree rats when I moved here 5 years ago. It is rare to see one now. You may think that 4 grand worth of air rifle is a bit much, but I also run a side business that involves sitting in local farmers' chicken and beef cattle barns eliminating rats in total darkness (Hense the night vision scope). Already got the tool for that so any and every squirrel that steps across my property line has made their last mistake. I do have foxes and coyotes in the nearby woods so they come in at night and take the bodies away.
And now for my two cents....why not replace the drop bucket with a sloped out instead of flat side surface causing the squirrels to slide off. Then again on the other hand in the first place, if it ain't broke why fix it?
