A few days ago I made a bird feeder using pieces of wood from our fence that fell a few years ago.
I used the pole from an old deck umbrella that got ripped in a storm,
And to keep the squirrels away,
Covered the pole with a PVC pipe coated with vaseline!
This is a totally squirrel-proof homemade open bird feeder
About 7 feet off the ground!
And then landed the Rose-breasted Grosbeak.
Not one but two of them.
But the Grosbeak is so selfish
It won't allow any other birds to eat seeds while it is eating.
Not even its fellow Grosbeak.
Here it is threatening the other Grosbeak and the sparrow
And while it was busy chasing away the other Grosbeak,
The sparrow quickly took advantage of the situation
The cardinals and goldfinches don't behave this way on this feeder
The Rose-breasted Grosbeak happily enjoying sunflower seeds,
Alone
