Birdscapes? 453 Caramel Watchtower Feeder, 4 lb capacity Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really enjoy this bird feeder. It is very pleasant to the eye and feels extremely sturdy. I like how you can open the bird feeder by pressing a button on the top lid and sliding it up the wire so you don't need to take it down, but when you open it, the feeder will tilt to one side, so you need to use two hands to refill it. Aside from the filling issue, I am very happy with this bird feeder.

Stokes Select 38002 Squirrel Proof Tube Feeder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have the same bird feeder but purchased from Tractor Supply Co. at a lower price.In any case, one reviewer astutely pointed out the Achilles Heel of this product as being the vulnerability of the little plastic lock to the top cap that slides up and down one side of the hanger.I noticed that our squirrels had started to chew through this on mine as well, but hadn't finished the job.Well, it should be a no-brainer that you just can't make stuff that's allegedly squirrel-proof out of plastic.The designers should have known this, unless they're counting on you buying a new one after the squirrels get into the one you have by chewing through the lock and diving into the seed from the top of the seed container.

However, there's a simple solution that should take care of this problem.Get yourself two metal key rings; the ones I used measure about 1 inch across.Attach one on one side of the metal hanger, the other one on the other side.Then get two small padlocks of the size to lock a briefcase or suitcase (I got mine at Target, and selected two of the combination lock type, but you could use a key version if you want).Open one of the locks, and then use it to lock together the keyring with the closest part of the top of the metal cage, doing this so there's little if any play between the two.Do this again for the hanger's other side.This should prevent the top from being lifted open regardless of whether the plastic lock has survived the squirrel attack.You can unlock it easily enough when it's time to replenish the seed.If you measure the length required to lock the hanger to the cage part, you could probably dispense with the key rings I used and just use padlocks with the metal loops of the appropriate length.

You have to hand it to squirrels - when it comes to getting to food, they're incredibly resourceful.But I don't think they will be able to chew through the metal I used.However, if they figure out the combinations to my padlocks, I really will think that the end of the world is at hand!:-)

Aspects 182 Super Dome Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A good squirrel baffle actually serves two purposes being directly over a feeder.It most of the time keeps the pesky varmints that its designed to deter away, and it also serves as a roof in keeping rain away from the seed portals and helps them stay dry.There are people that buy baffles as protection from the weather even if they are fortunate enough not to be bothered by squirrels.The Aspects dome is certainly big enough to do both jobs.But it is no more effective than any other baffle of the same size and design that is much cheaper.If one sets out to buy a baffle just about anywhere of the dome variety, they will get a swift and severe education as to how expensive they are.You will come to believe that all baffles must have uranium in them somewhere to be so overpriced.The only exception to that rule that I have found is the dome that can be found at a local Tractor Supply company, or at the Tractor Supply website.They sell a full 15" gray plastic dome squirrel baffle for the unbelievable price of only $8.00.(At the time of this writing.It my be a little more now, but will forever be far cheaper than the Aspects).They are the same size as the Aspects and have the same double hook system.And they also come with an attachment for mounting the baffle on a pole if that serves your needs. They are so cheap and effective I ordered 10 of them at once for all my feeders. The only difference between the two is the Tractor Supply baffle is a solid gray instead of clear.Something I actually prefer since the clear ones only look clear for the first couple of Weeks anyway.From that time on they are never clear again.If you're in the market for a baffle, especially for more than one, forget this horrendously overpriced Aspects model and check out the squirrel baffles at Tractor Supply company.You will be most pleased, I promise you...

Heritage Farms Bird's Choice Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Unlike the reviews below, this feeder has given us excellent service. I purchased this for my Mother to use. Her backyard is Squirrel Central and she is always on the lookout for a feeder for feathered critters, not furry ones.

This feeder is very easy to fill and to date no squirrels has been observed successfully getting any seed out of it. Which isn't to say they don't try, but so far their schemes have failed them. The saga continues....

BAFFLE SQUIRREL18" WRAP Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a pole with a hook to hold bird feeders and it is the type that sticks in the ground. Squirrels and chip monks constanly
get up and eat the seeds in the bird feeder.The baffle comes with a bracket, like a collar that is attched on the pole, and it is fixed in place by tightening the screw.The split in the baffle makes it convenient to put on.It then can be closed by hooking the ends together [they come with fold shape like a "U"]. Best to keep up the baffle as high off the ground as possible because the squirrels can jump up at leat 3 feet I think.I use this in combination with the supposedly squirrel proof feeders and works effectively, especially with the red squirrel. They are small and very smart.Also, make sure to keep the feeders away from other pole feeders and trees.Those squirrels are very determined and can jump fairly far.For the money, this is one of the most effective anti-squirrel guard.Highly recommended.

Heath Outdoor Products HB-1 Squirrel Baffle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This squirrel baffle is just about as cheap as they come here on Amazon.(The best and cheapest ones can be found either at a local Tractor Supply company, or at the Tractor Supply website).Its not quite as big or effective as either a squirrel deterrent or protection from the weather as a dome style, but it is certainly far better than nothing. (And a whole lot cheaper). The problem with the basic design of this baffle is the swing away system it employs. The same ineffective system that is unfortunately employed in a lot of squirrel baffles.Even ones a lot more expensive than this one. The theory behind it is that the squirrel will lay down its paw on top of it with its full weight, slip off, and then fall to the ground as the baffle swings out of the way. Unfortunately this is one of those times when something sounds most logical in theory, but is a total bust in actual practice.Squirrels very quickly figure out the baffles rational and set out to defeat it.That is to say, they just come to learn to hang their feet from above and use the baffles swing away design to their advantage by it moving freely out of their way.Just about everyone that has a bird feeder then sees the usual result.A squirrel hanging down from above upside down feasting on and spilling your expensive seed. This baffle can be made far more effective by a simple redesign.Just unscrew the two hooks that merge in the middle of the dome from above and underneath and screw in a lock nut so it is flush with the baffle on top and below.Then screw the hooks back in.The swing away design is then defeated and the baffle will remain stiff and very hard for the squirrel to move out of the way with his body due to the counterweight of the feeder underneath. Also, installing the nut stiffens the baffle sufficiently enough to prevent it from being tossed around by the wind as some other reviewers have mentioned. Trust me, it is very simple to do and it makes this very reasonably priced baffle most effective indeed.I recommend this baffle if you're on a budget and desire something that works very well with the simple modification described above.Order several at once to make the shipping charge worth it...
