New Squirrel Feeder?

This little guy knew EXACTLY what my new feeder station was meant for.
Captured through my kitchen window, hand held, with a Pentax K10 D digital body and Tamron 28 - 105mm lens.

How cute - fun to watch! They know where the food is even if it isn't for them.

Ok. Sorry. Vaseline is petroleum based so it would get on their fur and they would try to clean it off and ingest it and that would be very bad

Is Vaseline harmful to birds?
The Vaseline can cover a bird's feathers, preventing it from flying. The feathers also protect birds from the elements. Birds can also ingest the Vaseline, making them sick. ... Center officials said people should avoid using any lubricant to coat a bird feeder.Jun 21, 2018

The Center for Wildlife says there are many ways to deter squirrels from climbing feeders, however, Vaseline and other lubricants can harm the animals. “Please do not coat your bird feeders in Vaseline, oil, butter, or anything like that.Jun 21, 2018

But you can out smart them! I had the same problem and discovered that by applying Vasoline to the pole made it too slippery for the squirrels. So they stopped!

The squirrel is sooo cute! It posed for its pictures and slid down the pole like a fireman!!
