@XOIIO I don’t know why I responded to myself. My synapses may have been misfiring, I may have hit the wrong user, myself, with my mouse, I may have been possessed by demons at the time, who knows? I hope to god it was only a “mistake.” I make them sometimes. Or else, perhaps, I’ve gone hopelessly insane!!!! OMG! And no, no such thing as a squirrel-proof bird feeder, not with my squirrels. They are diabolically clever, nothing I have tried has worked, trust me. Nothing. Climbing, scurrying up and down the tree, leaping, flying, flying and leaping and hanging upside down, chewing through plastic, through metal. NOTHING STOPS THEM!!! NOTHING!!! You must have very docile, unambitious squirrels where you live, if all it takes is a concave dish on a pole to keep them away from your bird feeder.
