We took the lid to a 5 gallon bucket, cut a hole and ran the pipe through it, squirrels can't get passed.

OK - can't wrap my brain around that one, I would think the slinky would give them something to grab. I must need more coffee today. LOLNot sure how to post picture. You just put the pole through the slinky and they can't get any traction. The cooking oil won't last too long.
Problem is the pole in in the frozen ground. I have another pole on the other side of the house that doesn't have any limbs I can get a bucket on that. The problem there is that there is no window to observe the birds. The present one is right out side from kitchen sink. It is a hummingbird magnet in the summer.

The slinky isn't stationary. It slides down as the squirrel climbs up. Sorta like trying to go up the down escalator.OK - can't wrap my brain around that one, I would think the slinky would give them something to grab. I must need more coffee today. LOL
Where would I get something like that.There are bird feeders you can get that are squirrel-proof. They have a cage around them that the squirrel can't get through, or they have a sort of sleeve over them, attached to the perches, so that squirrel-weight things seal off all the holes but lighter birds have no issues.
Tractor Supply for the feeder, I've got one but have had nothing but issues with it, such as the perch not causing it to close, that is why we used the lid..Where would I get something like that.
