    Hi All,

    Does anyone know how i can keep squirrels and pigeons off my bird table?
    I was going to put chicken wire around it and leave a gap at the top for the birds, but then i thought that the birds (and the squirrels if they try to get in) may injure themselves.
    I have squirrel proof feeders elswhere in garden and i also put seed and nuts on the floor for them but they eat all that and then attack the bird table. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

    Hi

    Shape of the roof if its pointed stops the pigeons from landing on so easily and they basicaly slide off, to stop the squirels attach a piece of round ply wood about 12 inches round on the pole stops them from getting up the pole.
