They still hang around on the ground underneath for the droppings, providing great entertainment for me and our 2 dogs when I let them out.

Not sure what either of them will ever do if they manage to catch one.
This is what I do except rather than string I use thin gauge wire I add the soda bottles like MCDUDE above. I have the squirrels chew the string sending feeders to the ground.
