on top, but those squirrels still can get on the ledge to eat, I don't want the squirrels on the feeder at all. I really would appreciate any helpful suggestions. The best one gets chosen as best answer, and you know what that means? Thanks ahead for any help.
The feeder is on a hanger, like the one people hang flowers on, have a stupid question, how do you attach the baffle on the bottom? Please don't call me dumb, I know that already. The hanger is attached to one of the post on my front porch.
What kind of baffle do you have? On pole-mounted feeders, baffles should be fixed in place beneath the feeder. On hanging feeders, a tilting baffle at least 18 inches in diameter should be installed above the feeder. Make sure that baffles are several feet away from anything on the sides (trees) that squirrels can jump from. Also, make sure that pole-mounted baffles are high enough off the ground so the squirrels cannot leap over it.

This colossal feeder features a unique squirrel proof design that will keep squirrels frustrated.

The 15″ clear polycarbonate feeder cover shelters birds while protecting seed from the weather. Drainage holes in the tray prevent water from collecting, and the included Collet fastener fits on top of the weather dome, preventing it from flying off in high winds.
