Squirrel Baffle Keeps Squirrels out of your Bird Feeder
We got a bird feeder which closes when a squirrel tries to get on the perch, but it doesn't stop squirrels from climbing the pole and knocking the seed on the ground which then keeps them and their friends coming back for more. This baffle wraps around the pole and keeps them from climbing it and solves the problem! Allows more bird watching and less squirrel chasing.
