What is the purpose of war?
The wars year after year, day by day kill many people. There should be a way we have more peace in Elmundo. People live in a world very nice and we have to care.

Go to Costco, get a big bag of FreshPak "PEANUTS".
They come in the blue & white stripped bag, not the red & white bag (those are salted).
Find a tree in your yard not too far from your bird feeder, that has a crotch (Y) you can reach,
Place a plastic beer cup load of p-nuts in the tree's crotch. Be consistant !!!
(Once every day at the same time, I do it on the way out to work)
The Squirls will know when to make their rounds.
The Squirls will love you, and they will leave the Bird feeder alone.
Make Love, not War ... when it comes to Squirls

Two words: Squirrel Flipper.
Almost as much fun to see them fly as it is to see them fail at getting the bird seed.

Squirrels are pretty smart. You gotta give them alternatives.
The University of Washington saves significant amounts of money each year because their resident squirrels eat compostable food out of garbage bins. Once thought of as a pest, a study was done on campus, finding that the squirrel population saved the UW over $200k a year on garbage.
Is there some similar way that the squirrels could be working for you, instead of against your birds?
And... you could make the food less desirable by adding more thistle or sunflower to the seed mix? Squirrels don't like it, but birds will still eat the feed.

Humm . . .
Would like to see a distance shot to see how far up the chain goes.
Wonder if a big round metal collar , like would be used on horizontal lines to stop roof rats, would be needed to stop squirrels from climbing down the chain?
Just surmising, don't know from any first hand experience.
