The good news about my new squirrel-proof feeder? It seems to actually thwart the squirrels so far, I just today got to witness one do his best to get into the seed, only to end up falling off the feeder and give up. The bad news is that to some degree the feeder is also bird-proof. I've watched several birds have too much trouble balancing on its tippy base to make it worth their whiles to bother. I think I will go back to the store and see if I can exchange it for one of the models that has spring-loaded perches, even if it means it is more likely to suffer squirrel intrusions. Of course, if I keep this one, the 20 lb bag of birdseed I bought along with it might turn out to be a lifetime supply, but that doesn't seem to be the point. On the bright side, some goldfinches have discovered the other feeder, which doesn't seem to interest the squirrels at all, and they are awfully cute little things, so at least there's some activity out there.
