If you like to feed your backyard birds like I do, you know that the squirrels will sabotage any bird feeder and peaceful gathering of your birds.
I have two or three feeders on the property line in my back yard. This first feeder is made of metal and is supposed to be squirrel proof. The roof is very slippery and if he steps down onto where the bird feed is, there is a seed cover that is pushed down. The squirrels haven't hung from their back feet on this one yet this year, so I'd have to say this is the best investment so far.
The second feeder has a dome on the hanger, followed by the feeder hanging within it. This should work properly except for the fact that I have it hanging from the shed. All they have to do is crawl between the dome and the shed, and voila, they're in. I have to move that one. They get into everything!!
Here are some miniature squirrel figurines in our store that won't attack your bird feeders, lol
Have fun feeding and watching your backyard friends. And don't be mad at the squirrels, they're hungry, lol

Glossary ~
Porcelain
Usually white or light gray in color, porcelain is the highest quality of ceramic ware there is. Composed of clay, feldspar and flint, it is very durable despite the fact that it can appear quite delicate, and is fired at a very high temperature
Bone China
Bone china is a type of porcelain made from clay mixed with bone ash and is characterized by its strength, translucency and warm white color. It fires at a lower temperature than true porcelain.
China
Also known as kaolin, is a white soft clay derived from the decomposition of granite. China clay stands up to high temperatures in the kiln.
Ceramic
Made by shaping and then firing clay, a nonmetallic mineral, at a high temperature in which it produces a hard, brittle, heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant product.
Back Stamps ~
Limited edition (LE): A decorative collectible may be limited by a specific, announced number (such as 5,000 or 10,000) or by time period. Limited edition items typically show two sets of numbers, usually on the base of the item. The higher number indicates the total number produced while the lower number indicates which one you have. Limited editions often come with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA).
Firing limit: Companies such as Avon, Bing & Grondahl, Bradford Exchange, Franklin Mint, Danbury Mint, Hamilton Collection, Knowles, and Royal Copenhagen and others can choose to set a firing limit, meaning that they only make an item during a specified number of firing days. A series of items with a lower firing limit typically has fewer items produced, which often makes the item more desirable to collectors.
Annual edition: are produced for one year.
Open edition: are not limited and could still be in production
