I live on the second floor and a squirrel climbs up the brick wall to get on the balcony and jumps at the bird feeders. Any suggestions on how to keep him off?

Squirrels are among the world's smartest animals. They are known to overcome the hardest obstacles to get at bird feeders as shown on the Animal Planet tv show. You could try to trick them by putting a feeder outside with little stones. Once the squirrels get on to it, hopefully they won't return. Or you could build a shelf around the feeder and slick it with molasses. They will have a hard time cleaning themselves and maybe won't return. Please don't kill them. They are here for a purpose.

Squirrel's will find a way. Suggest a bird feeder with weight sensitive perches. It closes when anything heavier than a bird sit's on the perch. I saw them at Low's in my area. You can adjust the sensitivity. The quirrel's will still try, but you won't be feeding them.

They make a product called squirrel b gone.
It comes in a spray, and you can get it at most farm supply stores.

Paintball gun. Buy each squirrel an eye protecting helmet first.

Fox urine. I know it sounds gross, but it works.
