Has anyone done this successfully before and would you share your methods with me.

I have four squirrels I feed peanuts to for three years and none have eaten through our screen. Have you seen them. I kept birdseed in the lanai and it was a rat that had chewed through screen and into the bird seed bag. I had to put the bird seed into a plastic container to make it stop and then put out rat poison inside an upside milk crate. The rats can fit through the holes in the crate but it's keeps other animals out, namely a rabbit that we have come all the time. Do you have food of any kind inside your birdcage? That's what they smell. I guess it could be a squirrel, they climb my screen but that's all they do. The fake owl generally works for birds, every neighborhood pool has one mounted on the trellis around the pool to keep bird droppings off the recliners.
