I have two of these feeders and the squirrels have given up on even trying to get at the seeds. I got this feeder for one of my sons and his squirrels haven't yet learned the lessons so it was fun watching them today.
This is the subtle approach. You make believe you have no interest in the seeds and just want to hang around and rest. A little sunbathing on the deck.

Well OK I'll just close my eyes for a moment.

NO! Can't sleep yet I have to get at those seeds! But I don't want them to know my plan so I'll just turn the other way for a moment.

Now I'll make my move, I bet I can catch the feeder off guard from underneath.

This time I'll just edge myself over the edge to those seeds.
