I tried the "baffle" type of anti-squirrel feeder. I wish I had taken a film of the squirrels who were gymnastic pros at still being able to get to the seed. They left me a thank you note for the playground equipment I installed for them. So I have given up and just put out plenty of quality seed for any animal or bird that comes by my feeder. I just say, "the squirrels have to eat, too" so that it doesn't frustrate me any more. I love the idea of moving water in a bird bath because of mosquitos. The pic from the commenter with the climbing bear is terrifying. I would move. :-)

We added a three tier fountain to our back patio area of our yard a couple years ago. It has a bubbler at the top. That has been a huge hit for everyone. The hummingbirds bathe in it, as do the smaller birds. The larger doves even come sit on it in the summer. The bees drink from it. It takes a little work to keep it clean, but it’s worth it to watch the birds.
