Really? I thought squirrels were bad. , a photo by ricmcarthur on Flickr. You can buy feeders that are supposed to be squirrel proof and even a few that are racoon resistant but I don't think there are any commercial deer baffles. We looked out to see a white tailed deer eating out of the platform feeder. Shins on the baffle for balance and muzzle stuck into the feeder, the tongue flicking around like an anteater's. I know there are deer flies, I have been bitten by them often enough, but I'm not aware of a deer bird. The deer are welcome to clean up under the bird feeders but I think this is just being greedy. You can see a standard sized baffle on the feeder in the foreground, actually there are two baffles as our squirrels are creative. The baffle on the platform feeder is a custom made one that even keeps racoons at bay but evidently not deer. Odocoileus virginianus
