A few years ago I purchased a bird feeder which was also squirrel proof. It had three sections so that you could fill it up with peanuts, wild bird seed and sunflower hearts. I filled it up before a two week holiday and it was virtually empty when I returned. The morning after I returned I found a blue tit had managed to get inside the feeder presumably to get at some seed trapped half way up. Basically it was stuck and I had to totally dismantle the feeder to get it out, good job I hadn't gone on a three week holiday!! I sent photographs and a stern letter to the manufacturer and they had to bring out a modification to the feeder.
