Squirrel deterrents

We love squirrels, but we also love to spot birds. Am about to buy loads of bird feeders to  put in and around my oak trees to really make the most of my garden. Any advice from anyone on succesfully stopping the squirrels eating all the bird food.? Perhaps top tips on where to locate the feeders, types of squirrel proof feeder on the market, old wives tales even..Anything at all much appreciated. Thank you.

  • Hello Naturenutsmum,
