A baffle is the only thing that really works. Put the feeder on a pole about 5 feet off the ground and 8 to 10 feet from anything they can jump from, fences, branches, roof edges, then fit a cone or tube baffle on the pole under the feeder. Hanging from a tree branch they'll get to it sooner or later however clever the feeder is.
