Be innovative

Those tall feeders are old halogen lamp fixtures, were 150/300 watts - am now on 10 watt CFLS in my place so no need for them pole lamps.

I think the birds like my conversion - squirrels don't, can't get around the "cup" portion at the top - but some larger squirrels can, not the red squirrels or chipmunks.

I also have two suet feeders hung on a clothesline/rope - too wobbly for them squirrels to navigate

Nuthatches and chickadees go for the suet feeder, and an occasional woodpecker.

Other visitors to my "gang" of feeders include red-poles, blue jays, and tons of sparrows.

For interest/humor sake,
