Not racoon proof I watched a raccoon climb the 4×4 post up to the bottom of this guard, thinking he would have to turn around and forget it, but he reached around it with his arms, and shinnied up it with no problem. Once at the top, he proceeded to spin the feeder to unscrew it from its mounting. They really are clever. I wish the baffle were slicker. I believe there is some super slick substance that could be applied to it. Otherwise, it has the squirrels completely baffled.
Substantial and well-made Although the coyotes have killed most of our raccoons (and fawns), I still wanted to protect our bluebird houses from them. This baffle is heavy duty and bigger than I expected. It is very easy to install. I thought it was pricey but took the plunge and bought four. My husband had his usual fit. But he was impressed and installed them. I believe they will last for many, many years.
So far, so good.. I am “blessed” with a raccoon that had either been raised by people or trapped in a city park or suburb and brought here and released. The first time I ever saw this guy on my bird feeder, I threw a rock at him (missed) and instead of running away, he climbed down, ran over the rock, sniffed it, and looked up at me with a “what the hell is this?” look. Obviously, this guy was used to being fed by humans. I named him “Fido” and he has been terrorizing my bird feeders…
