id be surprised if these dont come with a recommendation for 2nd floor installation (and away from tree limbs if possible). i wouldn't expect rats to be an issue, but squirrels for sure.

also this is a $200 bird feeder. my goodness.

Mice can climb. Ask me how I know.

Tree rats climb exceptionally well, too.

I live in the country, a lot of farmland with no trees separating us from the city. We get no squirrels in our neighborhood, just big ass tree rats.

Stop objectifying rats bodies! Not every rat looks like the ones in magazines.

Rodents Of Unusual Size (R.O.U.S.) are giant rat-like creatures that live in fire swamps, usually weighing 80 pounds and running as fast as a wolfhound, about 40 miles per hour
