Abstract
The invention is a squirrel deterrent assembly including a pole member supporting a bird feeding device. A biasing spring member having first and second ends encircles a portion of the pole member and is secured thereto at the first end thereof. An axially elongated sleeve member surrounds the spring member and the portion of the pole member, with the sleeve member secured to the spring member at the second end thereof. A squirrel grasping the sleeve member causes up and down movement thereof, relative to the pole member, thereby frightening the animal off the assembly.
