The technology involved in this bird feeder is simply the resultant of naturally occurring consequences of applying force to a centrally balanced device. When any device, in this case a bird feeder, is hanging from its central point of balance any force applied to any point on the perimeter of this device will cause a condition of unbalancing the device. This force causing the unbalancing results in the whole device tilting away from the force applied instantaneously. In this case that is desirable to thwart squirrels from getting a foothold on the suet container thus denying them the feast they are seeking.
