If you plan to battle against the squirrel, you
must know your enemy. The average squirrel can leap
eight feet horizontally and five feet vertically,
therefore birdfeeders should be located with that
in mind. You can use an overhead baffle to prevent
a "top attack" or place a baffle on your
pole or post to prevent attacks from below. The
Wild Bird Shoppe carries many baffles. You may also
wish to utilize a squirrel resistant feeder if all
else fails. There are many squirrel resistant feeders
posted on our online store.
Most people are divided equally on whether to baffle
squirrels away from birdfeeders or use a tactical
approach called diversion feeding.
Diversion feeding allows you to sit back and watch
as the squirrels come running to the squirrel feeder.
You can enjoy their entertainment as they leap,
spin, climb and munch. Keep the feeder full and
the squirrels will be distracted from your birdfeeders.
Items such as our squirrel pinwheel, ear corn feeders,
ground trays, nut munch boxes, and ever popular
Bungee Squirrel feeder will provide endless hours
of squirrel activity. They can add one more fascinating
wildlife addition to your backyard!!
