Yeah, you can tell by all the weeds around that pot, right? Metal pole behind the gazania pot is, in fact, holding up one of the bird feeders! I grease the pole so the squirrels can't climb it. Hilarious watching them try, though.

Here's the other one, so far squirrel-proof as far as I've seen - their weight pulls the seed ports shut. Ironically, DH used a piece of bamboo for the pole on this one, and although the squirrels can't get the seeds they use that pole to climb, then jump to the other feeder about 5ft. away. Where there's a will . . .
