    Slinky works to keep squirrels off of the posts !
    These Slinky springs are perfect for putting on your bird feeder Shepard's Hook Post bird feeder.See the photo --squirrels will NOT climb this post as the Slinky is sharp on their grubby little paws, and it moves with their movements. It spooks 'em ! I had one for 5 months, and I just ordered 2 more after the "test run" ! This really works.

    I bought this slinky to stretch over my shepherd’s hook bird feeder in my flower bed. This was to prevent squirrels from climbing up my birdfeeder pole to eat the bird food. It also prevents the squirrels from jumping onto the top from the nearby trees. I tried many other things to deter squirrels and this is the first thing that consistently keeps squirrels away. Also, the metal weathers well.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Actually Purchased Two Three Packs Again
    Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2024
    Size: OriginalVerified Purchase
    I purchased one of these and then decided to purchase (3) three more to give to a few young children. They totally loved them so much and wondered where I purchased them as they did not grow up with slinky’s like us seniors did many years ago. Now I purchased two more (3) packs because they were needed to put by my bird feeders to keep the squirrels away. They are working like a charm. I even put one across our railing with tie wraps, to keep the squirrels from jumping up. Seems like we have a Houdini Squirel who can get into the most craziest positions just to eat the bird seed.
