SQUIRRELS..

FEED 'EM OR DEFEAT 'EM

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!!
