Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've been fighting the battle of man vs. the squirrels with the bird feeders in my back yard for five years, and up until now, the squirrels have been winning every time. There hasn't been a single gadget I've been unwilling to try, from trying to hang the feeders from an unreachable branch (no such thing), attaching spikes to the trees (which the squirrels skipped right over), cutting down branches (which did nothing but make the trees look ugly), habaneros soaked bird seed (the ad said the squirrels wouldn't eat it, but routinely had an all you can eat buffet followed by a lengthy stay at the local bird bath where they drank themselves stupid). No matter what I tried, it didn't work. It just didn't. Unable to give up my battle against a bunch of ugly, mean-spirited rodents, I swallowed my pride and placed one last order on Amazon for the Squirrel Solutions Seed Saver 200 Wild Bird Feeder. As soon as it arrived I carefully hung it up in the tree with a whole lot of skepticism and not a lot of confidence. What happened next has been nothing short of miraculous. A few hours after hanging the feeder, here comes Mr. Squirrel, ready for his daily afternoon face feeding. I watched as he climbed down to the feeder upside down, only to have the ports shut right in his face. Not to be deterred, he crawled back up to the top (no success), then back to the bottom (no success), then in a 360 degree trip around the feeder, only to find that every food port was now closed to his greedy little face. He actually stopped cold on the feeder for about five minutes, as if he was pondering "What just happened?" Once he realized that the weight of his misdeeds was the very reason he could no longer eat, he got a crabby look on his face and disgustedly jumped off. I was so pleased with what happened I went back on to Amazon.com and purchased a second feeder. It has now been several weeks since my feeders were purchased, and the squirrels have never been back to even try to eat on the feeders. This was a battle I thought I could probably never win, and I have never been so glad to be wrong in my life. I would tell everyone I know on Amazon that if you're plagued with squirrels on your bird feeder, this is the feeder you NEED to have. Now that the bird seed is actually feeding the BIRDS and not the rodents, I am going through at least 75% less seed than I ever did before. My only regret is the money I spent trying anything else, when the right feeder was all I ever really needed. I highly recommend it!
