Feeding the squirrels, ....I mean birds!

You know the routine, you set a bird feeder up outside the motorhome window to attract different variety of birds but before you know it the squirrels move in and figure a way to get to the seed!

Well. Worry No More!

With just a couple 2 litre bottles with holes in the bottom you can feed the birds w/o those pesky squirrels. Simply feed a line thru the two bottles, hang the feeder in between and your good to go!

Enjoy the antics!

I'll give it a month, tops, before the squirrel figures out how to beat it.

Don't think that will happen unless they chew the bottles. Have not seen them back on the line for the last two days.

Me thinks you've finally outsmarted those pesky squirrels!

Isn't it a little hard to fill the bottles? What do the birds sit on to eat? How about some pics!

Look at that video again. The feeder is hanging between the bottles. We took a clear bowl and put three holes around the edge, used string and a s hook at the top. Costs nothing. Used a container that had cookies in it.

Would you believe that I didn't even notice the video at the bottom!

That's a great idea!

Yeah, I could have gone out and dropped 20 plus on a feeder but hey, the setup in the video works and just the cost of the seed.

Same principle for a mouse trap.
