Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a raccoon proof bird feeder?

I've tried so many so-called Raccoon proof bird feeders and they don't work! The latest one I tried even had a cage around the feeder but the raccoons figured out how to unscrew the top with their little fingers. I don't know where they learn to do this!!

You can prevent a raccoon to get to the bird feeder by using the correct type of bird feeder pole. Using a pipe that is too slick and too tall for the coon to reach the feeder. You can also hang the feeder on a clothes line. If there nothing for the coon to climb then it won't be able to get to the feeder.

A wire suspended from the limb of a tree worked for me!
