Mix some very hot spices in the bird seed. Squirrels cannot stand the heat. The spices will keep the squirrels away. It does not effect birds in any way they cannot taste it. Cayenne pepper or red pepper in powder form gets the best results it seems.

Also try Safflower seed, squirrels hate that as well.

If its windy the powder could blow into the birds eyes and that will effect them. Coat the seeds really well.

That should work.
