Answer This Question

A:  Install a large baffle on the pole and keep the whole thing far enough distant from anything the squirrels can use to launch a jump. Starlings are a problem I haven't solved, but if you have a tube feeder without perches it might help.

    A:  I'm using Brome SquirrelBuster Plus Model 1024-V01 as bird feeder. This works great. It protects from squirrels and large birds. Only advice secure the top lid with a strong duck tape as the squirrels will eventually learn to unscrew them trying to steal. As long as the squirrels can't reach the top lid portion of this feeder(use a pole baffle), then you have 100% protection. You'll have no complaints at all. Try it out!

        A:  I hang tube feeder with an Audubon Wrap Around Squirrel Baffle over the feeder. It protects feeder getting wet as well as detering squirrel to get to the feeder. I have not got starlings with this food.

          A:  You will certainly need to use a feeder that will prevent or discourage squirrels this mix is packed with nuts they love. Since you are using a pole and birds can climb up most of these, we would recommend a squirrel proof feeder that shuts when the squirrels weight is applied, but does not shut for the desired birds you mentioned. You may also want to put a baffle on the pole below the feeder so they are not able to reach up and grab the food. It will be very difficult to prevent or discourage starlings since the type of feeder they are able to eat from will be very much the same as the feeders woodpeckers, Blue Jays or cardinals will visit. Thank you!

            Quality at a fair price
            High quality, fresh, has been a draw for cardinals and blue jays. Will purchase again.

            Trail mix for the birds
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried Lyric Wild Bird Food in the Fruit and Nut High energy mix variety. This feed has a mix of natural seeds, nuts and fruit with no fillers. It contains shelled peanuts, almonds, pecans, cashews, pistachios, cranberries and raisins. It also contains a filler free mix of sunflower kernels, shelled pumpkin seeds, corn and black oil sunflower. This variety is supposed to help attract Cardinals, Cedar Waxwings, Chickadees, Grosbeaks, Jays, Nuthatches, Orioles, Robins, Titmice, Towhees and Woodpeckers. This mix of nuts and fruits looks like a really nice trail mix. The birds that visit my feeder devoured it and I had to replenish. I think I might have a few squirrels that are enjoying the feed as well.

              Delicious Looking but for the Birds
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bird food looks good enough to eat. It's filled with whole cashews, almonds, pecans, raisons, cranberries, and sunflower seeds (there are a few other ingredients too). I filled and placed a new feeder hoping to see a flock gather and gorge, but it hasn't happened. Guess they haven't found the feeder yet. If I was a bird I'd be flying fast to reach this mix.

                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My birds will be so happy this winter. I have a pair of cardinals that visit a few times a day and really enjoy this mix. And I get great enjoyment watching my friends eat me out of house and home!! They are so funny to watch!

                  Our backyard birds go NUTS (and fruits) for it!
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bird seed is amazing! Other brands have so much crushed and powdery stuff in the bag, but this stuff looks like a trail mix for humans, for real! It is unbelievably high quality, and our backyard birds have been going 'nuts' for it (haha). Because the pieces are so large, you do have to choose your feeder wisely, as this stuff might not fit through the openings on some seed feeders. Fortunately, we have one that is big enough to hold the larger birds that absolutely love this stuff, and it fits through the dispensing holes, too. We live in a crowded neighborhood right in the middle of a small town. We don't usually get too many exotic or especially interesting birds here, but this feed has been attracting cardinals and jays and nuthatches and even a woodpecker! (First time I've seen a woodpecker since we moved to town.) This stuff is a bona fide hit, and the best wild bird mix we've ever used, hands down. Unfortunately, the birds love it so much that they went through our 5-lb. bag pretty quickly, and because it is such a high-quality bird seed, it is more expensive than the brands we usually buy. While the quality makes it absolutely worth every penny of its price, I just can't easily afford it. I might buy it once in a while as a special treat for our birds, but our finances just won't allow it to be our regular brand. Alas. Still, if your finances are looser than mine, you cannot go wrong with this product. I can't rave about it enough. High quality feed attracts beautiful birds!

                    Bird and squirrel approved!
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The combo of fruits and nuts attracted the birds almost instantly. The squirrels came the next morning. It has been so fun watching the birds and friends come and enjoy the high energy mix. I've attracted a lot of tufted titmouse, a beautiful woodpecker family as well as lots of chickadees. The birds are so funny, they take one piece of nut or fruit, fly away and repeat. The combo looks good enough for a human to eat. Very high quality.

                      Very beautiful
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off it came very well packaged. This is fruit and nut high energy mix. This is a gourmet blend to attract Robin to woodpeckers. It's all natural food with no fillers which is really awesome. It comes in a 5 lb bag and it's resealable bag which will keep the food fresh which is really awesome is a very good value as well as quality attracts to your backyard. Special for the people that love to watch birds. What makes lyric fruit and that different from other fruit and nuts mixes in order to make a genuine fruit and mix, it is important to start with a wide range of hype. Portable nuts lyric begins using shell peanuts. Three of the most bird desired tree nuts are adding next almonds, pecans, and cashews pistachios complete the nut portion of the recipe adding more coloring variety. They love all kinds of fruits but this particular fruit and nut brand for the birds at attracts. So many different kind of birds. Your birds would really love you for these. Just imagine sitting out on your back deck in your swing. Just watching the different birds coming up to feed. They're very beautiful. This is really awesome. The quality is really really good. It even has fruit in it which is really great. It's it's really awesome for the different types of birds. Your birds are really love you for it and you'll get to see all different types of birds that you've never seen before. I recommend this to everyone

                        They loved it!
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I will start out by saying that I enjoy feeding and watching the birds both out front and back! This fruit and nut high energy mix was great! It attracted the birds like crazy! I put a little in both feeders to see how well it would do and it was great, but not long after I realized that some of the nuts were too big to come out of the bottom of my feeder. So I ended up pouring it along the railing on my deck where I keep my feeder. All the food was gone within a few hours. Out front I have the same feeder and noticed that somehow the birds got the lid off and were eating right out of the feeder which I found hysterical. This fruit and nut mix had cashews, almonds, sunflower seeds and much more. The birds went crazy over it and there were many different birds eating it. I have alot of Blue Jay's that come around and a woodpecker plus all the other smaller birds including cardinals! The food was gone before I knew it!

                          I have purchased many different varieties of fruit and nut seed for birds, but Lyric is by far my birds favorite. Priced reasonably too.

                          If you are looking to attract Bluejays, Redheaded and Redbellied Woodpeckers than this is the food you want to get. Tufted Titmice also enjoy it. It is mostly different types of nuts with very little sunflower seeds or fruit. It does contain some cracked corn which my birds won’t touch but I just throw that on ground when everything else is consumed and the doves and squirrels clean up. This is the only food I’ve found that’s practically all nuts. Even a particular store that specializes in bird stuff has a nutty food that barely has any nuts and is double the price. I feed this in an open tray feeder purchased from Home Depot so it’s easy for these large birds to perch. Well recommended and I will continue to buy. Only negative is not available in store, have to buy online.
