Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I READ THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS AND HAVE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME PROBLEM...........IT APPEARS TO ME THAT SQUIRRELS ACROSS THE NATION VARY WIDELY IN AGILITY AND INTELLIGENCE.........BASED ON REVIEWS MOST ARE DUMB AS A ROCK BUT HERE IN THE FOOTHILLS OF CALIFORNIA WE HAVE GREY SQUIRRELS THAT ARE BRILLIANT. OURS CLIMB THE POST, MANAGE TO MANEUVER AROUND THE EDGE OF THE BAFFLE AND THEN GRAB THE FEEDER AND GORGE TO ITS HEART CONTENT.......IF YOU HAVE SMART SQUIRRELS AVOID THIS PRODUCT. THE MOST EFFECTIVE SQUIRREL PROOF FEEDER IS THE TYPE THAT HAVE A FEEDING STATION THAT CLOSES WHEN THE WEIGHT OF THE SQUIRREL DROPS THE PERCH.......GOOD LUCK.
