The wrap-around design of this Squirrel Baffle allows you to attach this add-on without disassembling your bird feeder or bird pole. The innovative design of the Squirrel Baffle prevents squirrels and other critters from climbing bird poles to get to birdseed. This proven and practical accessory will keep your birds and their bird seed safe. When using the Squirrel Baffle, be sure your Bird Feeder Pole is placed a good distance from low hanging tree branches and structural overhangs. The Squirrel Baffle fits the Stokes Select Bird Feeder Pole, Tall Garden Hooks, or on any pole measuring 0.625 to 1-1/4-inch in diameter. The Squirrel Baffle is powder-coated in a smooth, weather-resistant finish. The subtle, dark green color perfectly matches the other Stokes Select products.
