Our new Classic Feeder with Squirrel Baffle has proven to be a joy for our many visiting birds. Our old hanging bird feeder the squirrels could get to and often knocked down. So far our squirrel friends have not been able to figure this one out. We have several types of birds in our area and no cats around. The birds feel safe in our yard. We put in the front yard because of our dogs. Birds flock to it every morning!
