Feed birds, not squirrels

FeederKeep is a small, independent, one-person site about a problem every backyard bird feeder runs into: squirrels getting to the seed first. The guides here are practical and specific, covering how to set up feeders squirrels can’t raid, which poles and baffles actually work, and whether a smart camera feeder is worth it.
