Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Honestly I don't know why this product is rated so highly. The concept, of course, makes a lot of sense and it would seem to be a brilliant idea. But anyone who has experience with squirrels knows they are smarter than the average 5 year old. And my squirrels must be as smart as a 50 year old, because they figured out how to get the seeds out no problem. So this very expensive bird feeder went back to Amazon. How did they do it? Simple: they climb on the perch which pulls it down and closes the holes. So far so good. But then they launch off the perch in a way that causes the feeder to start spinning like a washing machine. As they do this, the weight comes off the perch and the holes open. Voila! 1/2 pound of bird feed is conveniently sprayed in a 360 degree radius - a perfect spread for the offending squirrel and his 8 friends to enjoy. The squirrels think it's really funny to watch smoke coming out of my ears. They just climb back up...and...spiiiiiiiinn!!! At one point I wasn't sure if they were doing it for fun or for the food. Anyways, I guess we'll have to wait for another Einstein to be be born to finally outsmart these guys.
