We used\ndifferent type of bird feeders at different locations of the back yard at very\nbeginning.&nbsp; Then, squirrels always had a\nway to get on the bird feeder and really enjoyed the food. We did not give up.\nThis time we used a sheet-metal piece around at the top of the feeder hanger to\nfix the problem.&nbsp; Not too bad.&nbsp; So, squirrels then waited on the ground for\nleftover. The feeder is hanging from the gutter via a piece of wire and is far\nenough away from trees so squirrels cannot jump from tree to feeder.&nbsp; Also the roof is a metal roof and is very hot\nduring daytime. <br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jnlyman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Birds2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jnlyman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Birds2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-965\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.jnlyman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Birds2-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.jnlyman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Birds2-450x300.jpg 450w, http:\/\/www.jnlyman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Birds2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jnlyman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Birds3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jnlyman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Birds3-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-961\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.jnlyman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Birds3-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.jnlyman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Birds3-450x300.jpg 450w, http:\/\/www.jnlyman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Birds3.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Last bird feeder was made by metal net feeder hung by a small chain.&nbsp; This is by far the best solution.
