If a squirrel was near a bird-feeder will the birds stay away from the bird-feeder?
Not in my experience. I put up a four perch feeder on a tree in myfront yard. A squirrel reached over to feed from it. I chased it away. The birds still came at feeding time to eat. I just wish there was a way to keep the House Sparrows away from it. They are so aggressive when they feed. Attacking each other and the Cardinals that I do attract. I extended the feeder out more to keep the acrobatic squirrel out and taped off three of the perches. This kept the crowding down and the cardinals have more to eat when they come now.
