Hi! For more than a decade we’ve had this bird seed catcher that my dad build for my mom. She doesn’t like when the bird seed germinates on the ground and the ground is seething 🤷🏻‍♀️.

This winter the screen got destroyed by the squirrels because they were trying to get through the piles of ice and snow that were on the screen.

We’re in the process of replacing the screen - but here’s my thing: is there a better solution than this huge screen? We like it because we can feed the ground feeders (and the squirrels incidentally.) I know there are seed pans that you can attach under bird feeders, but that’s not what we’re looking for. Does anyone have any solutions that would accommodate what we’re already doing but without the hugeness?

Attached a couple pictures so you can get an idea of what we’re dealing with.

Thanks for your advice! Also, before anyone says anything, we don’t mind the squirrels we’re not looking to get rid of them.

I’ve been working on my overall tent setup and aesthetic. Could you please give me some feedback?? Sales are generally pretty slow, so any feedback about product or setup or whatever would be gratefully accepted.

Thanks!
