Finally-a good bird feeder. · 05:56 PM

Nothing makes my blood pressure go up like when the squirrels and big birds like the starlings and grackles can empty a feeder in one day.This feeder I got at Lowe's for $35 ( a bit pricey) but it works great.The finches-sparrows-titmouse-nuthatches can get inside very easily but the pig birds can't.

The gold finches are turning yellow and maybe in a day or so I will nail one at the feeder with the Bigma.If this post helps out anyone then my work is done for the day.

Man, I'm thinking of all the shots you'll get now, Capn. I'm looking forward to them.

That's a good idea to keep the fox out of the henyard.

So it's Otis proof... but for how long, they'll be working on a cunning plan as we speak.

Ask Rupert, he seems to have the inside info on all things squirrel.

I had one of those, until the squirrels couldn't get to the food. They literally tore it up. I ended up tthrowing it away amd will buy another Squirrel be gone.

With me it's doves, but I have developed a pigeon and dove proof feeder (also almost everything proof as a matter of fact)

I don't see much of Otis either

He looks a happy, contented and well fed individual.

Great shot.

So far it's working fine.The big birds can't get past the bars but the small ones hop in and out with no problem.

I give the squirrel a max of two weeks to figure out how to get into that feeder Charlie. You might give Lowell's trick a try.

Good luck with that one Charlie.

I'm pretty much convinced there is no such thing as a squirrel proof feeder. I spent about a $150 bucks on one a month or so back and the squirrels are already taking over.

Tis has taken a year of "training" in fact I think I have a family of hawks. I previously posted the photo of a mature bird, sitting in a tree in the corner of my yard, and an immature one sitting about 4 feet away from the feeder. This ones an immature bird not sure if it is the same one as previously
