r/BirdFeederCams

My Birdfy feeder is a month old and this pain in the a** squirrel has chewed a hole in the camera and chewed the line to the solar panel.

I’ve tried the spicy bird food…didn’t phase it and I’ve placed the seed guard. It managed to pull it up and rip it off. Idk what to do anymore…I’ve now gone through two bird feeders (one was a gift). Birdfy was nice enough they are sending me a new one but I don’t want to keep going through feeders.

Anyone have any suggestions?

In downtown Toronto. I made a neat little website for viewing my bird feeder videos. It’s called backyard-birds.ca and it uses a Raspberry Pi to download the latest videos from my camera every night, send sample frames to Open AI for species classification, and hosts the videos so I can watch them on my TV. This is one of the videos.
