My favourite feeder is the 'Nutosphere'. It's the one that I thought would be the most vunerable to Squirrels, but it has proved to be just the opposite. They've never come close to getting in, and all they have to do is to lift the lid!
The feeder far left is a mix of peanuts and suet pellets. The next is full of peanuts - this is the one that is the most vunerable to Squirrels. The long one is filled with sunflower hearts, it's the spring loaded one and all that the Squirrels can do is to throw it off the pegs! I've stopped this by putting the 2nd 'Nutoshpere' at the end and this seems to have worked ! Simple eh! The sphere on the right contains a mix a la jens recipe, this is very popular, but it has to be mixed to a 'stiff' mixture so that as they eat it , it collapses outwards towards the mesh - too solid and they can't get at it.
This photo is from this morning, we were raided by a flock of 50 - 60 Starlings ! The one on the feeder refused to move even as I walked towards him, I think he's addicted to jens mix !
