Hang your bird feeders off of a clothes line. For whatever reason the
squirrels don't walk on it (I suspect its too loose compared to electrical
wires) and therefore don't have an issue with the buggers eating my bird
food. I just wish the crows would stop bringing carrion to the bird bath to
soak. YUCK!
