I watched one smart squirrel figure out how to get around the “squirrel-proof” cover on this bird feeder. It knocked seeds to the ground and feasted on them. Clever little creature.
I watched squirrels at other feeders here on another day and they gave me quite the scolding. Here’s a short poem I wrote about them.

They are smart little creatures, squirrels 😁 I often see them staring at the bird feeders, figuring out how to get to them; I think sometimes they just like the challenge!
Yes, they do like to "squirrel" there way into places. 😀

They do something similar at my mother-in-law's assistive living place. They have different kinds of squirrel-proof feeders that they have gotten plenty of seeds from. :)
They can get through small openings to get what they really really want.
Little genius!
Yes, they are persistent.
This little guy must try so hard. :)
Yes, he was very determined!
