squirrel-proof
Blocks acorn hoarders
Squirrel-proof describes something designed to prevent squirrels from accessing it, most often bird feeders: a squirrel-proof feeder with a weight-sensitive perch.
The term acknowledges the notorious persistence of squirrels in defeating obstacles to reach food.
Like most "-proof" compounds, it promises more than it delivers—squirrels are resourceful.
