I expect you’re getting bored with hanging squirrel clips, but I thought I’d post this one up just to show how much seed has gone since I tried using the pillow feeder for sunflower seed instead of roasted peanuts.

As you can see, the feeder has been a success and the change of feed hasn’t discouraged the squirrels from using this feeder at all. In the clip below you’ll see that they’ve made a small hole in the bottom now, so that they can help themselves to seed from there rather than having to go through the side. Mind you, you’ll also see that just staying up there is still problematic and although this squirrel looks like he’s got it down to perfection, he hasn’t - not quite.
