Im looking for some advise, a have a long thin garden with a number of large pine trees on the one edge of my garden which I use to hang my bird feeder.
unfortunately these tree are also used by at least 2 pairs of squirrels if not more. I regularly find my bird feeder damaged or wake up to a hilarious view of squirrels trying to perch on the edge of the bird feed tray while eating.
I have been looking on the internet for a deterrent, but I not really sure which anti-squirrel designs work well.
A friend recommended me this top feeder (http://www.livingwithbirds.com/bird-feeders/extra-large-feeders/big-top-feeder/) but I'm not really sure whether this will just provoke the squirrels even more to try to sit on the top on the bird feed. Any advise would be appreciated.
