Homemade squirrel proof bird feeder (video tutorial)

None shall pass! 

After sharing video tutorial on how to construct DIY squirrel shocking bird feeder (which by the way received great feedback from the audience), it occured to me I should share some other DIY ideas that require even less investment of your money, your time and your DIY skills.
So, I've stumbled upon this wonderful and simple invention presented in video tutorial created by Chris Notap. Chris is "all around" DIY guy and his YouTube channel is all about tips and tricks: mouse traps, some cooking recipes, eggs peeling tricks, fixing home appliances and stuff... but I liked this tutorial very much and I think his homemade bird feeder is really squirrel proof eligible.

Chris did it using only:

- plate glass
- all purpose silicone   
- a piece of old seat belt fiber
- 1.5" copper pipe, but I think brass or even hard plastic pipe could do the trick
       
Here's how he did it:



Of course, Chris is well aware that small birds can make 1 1/2" pipes, while the squirrels can't. It's the same tactics used by commercially made caged squirrel proof bird feeders. 

If you liked this tutorial and intend to construct this birdfeeder according to Chris's blueprint, please note that squirrel proofing is not done after the feeder is finished. Right placement of bird feeder is crucial so please read my squirrel proof bird feeding tips before you decide where to place bird feeder pole in your backyard.

Enjoy!
