Physical barriersThe physical barrier is probably the first thing that comes to mind when you think of keeping squirrels out of your bird feeder. There are probably more products designed to prevent squirrels from getting into bird feeders than there are squirrels in your city, which can make the process of finding the right one tricky. Simply hang the baffle where you’d usually hang your bird feeder, and then hang your bird feeder below it. If you don’t already have a bird feeder that you like, a recommended one in this style is the Kingsyard Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder. Consider embracing the squirrels for what they are, doing a bit of chaos gardening, and rest with the knowledge that squirrels will get some bird seed from time to time.
