Oh, the very mischievous raccoon has paid me a visit many times over the years. Most recently he's broken 3 bird feeders, one of which was a very nice glass feeder with brass trim. I learned quickly while living in a wooded area, using ornate decorations outside is not the best choice. I trekked to my local bird feed store and bought a very expensive plastic and rubber bird feeder guaranteed to be squirrel proof. Well, why did my brain think that squirrel and raccoon were the same? Mr. Raccoon gave me a visit and knocked off the bird perch from the feeder. The perch is round and snaps together in two pieces. He not only knocked off the perch but walked away with half of the perch. Of course, back to the bird store to see how I can replace this "squirrel" proof, but not raccoon proof bird feeder. The answer was to remove the bird feeder for several days until Mr. Raccoon was convinced dinner was not available at my house. It worked. I replaced the bird perch and luckily my raccoon friend has not returned. At least he hasn't broken my feeder again. Oh, yes my feeder is really squirrel proof. I have a family of squirrels that test it daily!
