Squirrel proof bird feeder

Can anyone recommend a properly squirrel proof bird feeder? Many claim to be but the clever bastards simply grab the pecker and shake the seeds out of the feeding hole.

I have never found one, they are just too clever!

A squirrel baffle worked for years for us, but now a wiley squirrel has learnt how to jump over it.

Put the feeder on a pole away from overhanging trees and then grease the pole. Added bonus it’s rather entertaining to watch too- google it :)
Good luck!

We've got two that stick onto the window. They're designed for smaller birds but the doves have devised ways of getting to them. I've never seen a squirrel on ours in 2 years.
