I've got too risky of a birdfeeder setup for squirrels to get on to. They do coexist with the birds cleaning up the ground of whatever falls from the feeders. It's funny to watch frustrated squirrels that have been outsmarted.

What an idiot! Birds and squirrels do not mingle. Squirrels eat bird eggs and baby birds. This guy doesn't have a clue.
