Baffled Cage Squirrel Proof, Resistant Bird Feeders

Caged seed bird feeders with built in baffles are another answer to squirrel proofing bird feeders. Caged bird feeders provide some type of cage around the actual feeder area. Dual-grid feeders are designed so that the feeder and perches are equally enclosed by a metal cage or grid with holes big enough to admit the birds inside to eat, while at the same time, too small for a larger critter such as a squirrel to be able to access, effectively keeping squirrels out. This can also help with bully birds at feeders as the grid can be too small for the larger birds to pass through. If grackles, starlings, jays or crows are a problem these may help.

cage bird feeders

Caged bird feeders are an answer to squirrel proofing bird feeders. They provide some type of baffle around the actual feeder area. Dual-grid feeders are designed so that the feeder and perches are equally enclosed by a metal cage or grid with holes big enough to admit the birds inside to eat, while at the same time, too small for a larger critter such as a squirrel to be able to access, effectively keeping squirrels out. This can also help with bully birds at feeders as the grid can be too small for the larger birds to pass through. If grackles, starlings, jays or crows are a problem these may help. If you are having problems with larger birds eating all of the food out of your bird feeders, a feeder with a cage around it may be the answer. The larger birds can not fit through the cage to get to the food.

Starlings tend to be one of the biggest problems at feeding stations. While these birds tend to prefer to feed on the ground, they will also take over feeders if that is the food available to them. Suet seems to be their food of choice. If you have been invaded by starlings, you can take your feeders down for a week or two and hope that the flock moves on, which they will, but this will depend on if someone else in your area is feeding them.

If you wish to continue feeding the birds, make your feeding stations inaccessible to the starlings with a cage and stop feeding in open, platform areas or on the ground. We have found the cage system to be the most effective against starlings and crows. The down side of these cages is that they keep out larger woodpeckers as well.

How to discourage starlings from roosting
Discouraging a flock of starlings from roosting close to a home may be challenging. Setting up a plastic model hawk or owl nearby might help, however if this is the only deterrent starlings will quickly recognize the plastic hawk presents no threat and disregard it. It is more beneficial to utilize a predator decoy in combination with additional bird deterrent, such as audio recordings of starling distress calls played through a backyard speaker.

Loud noises will flush bird flocks from trees. To create loud noises, some people make use of fireworks, or bang kitchen pots and pans. Occasionally merely loud hand clapping can be sufficient to disturb a flock of starlings roosting in the area.

All the same the roosting starlings might continue to return to the roosting spot but if you scare the birds away each evening for about a week, they could relocate to a different roost. To deter them you must be relentless to ward off having a starling flock get established in a backyard. It is more difficult to get down a flock to relocate when they have colonized at at a roost location. These birds are persistent, you must be persistent as well.
