Squirrel Proof?!?

So I posted a few weeks ago that we got a new bird feeder. I wanted it to be a bird feeder and not a squirrel feeder. Up until now, we have been pretty successful. And then we come home to this! How on earth can I compete and outsmart these creatures! To interpret this picture, the squirrel is actually sitting on the ledge above the spring activated bar to keep the likes of him out! He then leans down and eats out of the trough - fully outsmarting the squirrel proof part of this feeder!

Man, when you post, you REALLY post! I can't keep up!
There is something you can put in the bird seed that the squirrels don't like. Good luck!

Why not feed the squirrels separately... maybe they would leave the bird's stuff alone? We always fed them peanuts in shells - they never bothered the bird feeder...

Don't do it...our neighbor two down feeds the squirrels peanuts and now our lawn is covered with peanut shells all the time and they are there constantly...they go where there is food!!!
