The seed feeder features a section at the top that works best for birds, and one at the bottom that works best for squirrels. No more one or the other. Everybody's happy.
This would be the bottom section.
Bird_20Proof_20Squirrel_20Feeder
The top section would be any of another existing squirrel proof bird feeder mechanisms. [doctorremulac3, Nov 29 2022]
Get this scene going every morning.

Outside though, not in your kitchen. That would be a mess. Shit all over everything. [doctorremulac3, Nov 29 2022]

In other words, don't take things too seriously. My two cents anyway. [doctorremulac3, Nov 29 2022]

High capacity with auto sorting [mylodon, Nov 29 2022]
Like so perhaps?

Squirrels work out how to empty both sections onto the ground |
|
| |
There are anti squirrel bird feeders that work quite well. The weight of the squirrel blocks the flow, etc. Plus the squirrel portion would just be a tray, the bird portion would have locking gates, pathway blocks etc. Why would squirrels do the extra work? |
|
| |
This would just be putting the two mechanisms together so you could watch birds and squirrels having breakfast every morning while you're having your coffee. I'd buy one. |
|
| |
Yup. Put those on the bottom, the squirrel proof bird feeders on the top. |
|
| |
One device, two mechanisms, everybody's happy. |
|
| |
Approved [+] Add in a breast pump feeder and everyone's happy. |
|
| |
Thank you xen, and like I've said many times before, please don't leave, you're an institution here. |
|
| |
I'm not leaving. I'm just not posting any new ideas as long as autoboning persists. |
|
| |
I get autoboned for pretty much every idea I have and I really could not care less. I accassionally have a fun interaction with the odd baker here and there and that's good enough. I don't need to get along with everybody at the party to have a good time. |
|
| |
But that's me. I've stopped suggesting that people be nice to each other, it is what it is. But like I said, there are some very cool people here, that's what I come for. |
|
| |
But if I were looking for actual validation this probably ain't the place. I think of it as more of a grafitti scribbled bathroom wall for nurdy engineery / sciency / creativity folks. |
|
| |
That being said, see link for actual video of my interaction with my auto-boner. |
|
| |
I'm sorry I don't get it. What are the birds and squirrels fed to? |
|
| |
Each other. Perfect balance and harmony of nature. Saves on buying food as well. |
|
| |
Sorry, I didn't make that clear. Yes, like a gladiatorial thing only winner eats the loser. I'm rooting for the squirrels. |
|
| |
Now you might say squirrels aren't coniferous, to which I'd say you spelled carnivorous wrong, but... wait... what was I saying? Oh yea, something about a squirrel launching bird feeder that doesn't so much launch the squirrels as just feed them birds or the other way around. |
|
| |
Unfortunately as mylodon's link pointed out, it's already been done, they just left out the hungry hungry squirrels part. |
|
| |
And the squirrel launcher, which I'm putting back in the design. |
|
| |
[xen] autoboning has always existed. it's a bit like free speech. |
|
| |
Let's not turn the doc's posting into that (tiresome) discussion. |
|
| |
21, yea, that's a squirrel / bird feeder but once the squirrels are done with the corn they'll not only eat all the bird seed, they grab mouths full of it and run away with it to their little squirrel's covens, or whatever you call where squirrels live. |
|
| |
"Squirrel" spelled sideways is "Satan" (sort of). There's a reason for that. |
|
| |
So father christmas is just a giant mecha-squirrell? Makes sense, hoards loads of stuff, can get into places fast, bushy furry surround to face and limbs... |
|

Well Poc, that's just silly. He's maybe ten feet tall, tops. |
|
| |
Enjoy a warm steamy bun on this beautiful wintry morning [+] |
|
| |
So for a squirrel feeder, is there a way to make it so they can't leave with their cheeks full? I'm drawing a blank. |
|
| |
//make it so they can't leave with their cheeks full?// |
|
| |
One way entrance like a lobster pot. |
|
| |
Laughing out loud at that ^ |
|
| |
Hey, that's a friggin' good idea! |
|
| |
Kind of like the monkey not letting go of the apple in a pot trap. "Greed will be your downfall little fella!" |
|
| |
Same with raccoons, that. |
|
| |
Although I find it hard to believe that if a raccoon has his hand on his nuts and an asteroid was bearing down on him he wouldn't let go. |
|
| |
Sorry to use that old canard about the raccoon grabbing his nuts when an asteroid is bearing down on him but it's appropriate here, cliche' though it may be. |
|
| |
That's a rather ballsy comparison of you to make. |
|
| |
Little nutty, but it was okay. |
