Weight-Activated Squirrel-Resistant Bird Feeder - 4 Ports, Metal & Polycarbonate

The Garden Where Squirrels Can't Steal from the Bird Feeder

Imagine watching birds feeding peacefully, without squirrels depleting the feeder in minutes. This innovative feeder is designed to keep your feathered friends well-fed while safeguarding their food from pesky rodents.

What Makes This Feeder Unique

• Weight-Activated Protection Mechanism – The perch is designed with a spring system. When a small bird lands, the perch remains elevated, allowing access to the feeding ports. In contrast, heavier visitors trigger the mechanism, closing the openings.
• Four Feeding Ports with Continuous Perch – Accommodate multiple small birds at once, as the ports are arranged around the feeder. The continuous perch ensures space for various species including finches and sparrows.
• Clear Polycarbonate Tank – Easily monitor seed levels through the transparent tank, providing a quick visual indication of when a refill is necessary.
• Robust Powder Coating Against Rust and Chewing – The metal components are treated with a powder coating for enhanced durability against the elements and squirrel damage.
• Large Capacity of Approximately 2.3 kg / 5 lbs – A single fill can sustain bird activity for several days, minimizing the need for frequent refills. It works well with various seed types.
• Tight Metal Lid to Prevent Access from Above – The secure lid and extended feed tube ensure that squirrels and larger birds cannot reach the seeds from above or the side.
• Removable Lid for Easy Refilling – The lid is easy to remove, and the wide opening facilitates mess-free refills and straightforward cleaning.
• Dimensions 14 × 14 × 31.8 cm / 5.5 × 5.5 × 12.5 in – The slim design is space-efficient, making it a perfect fit for your garden setup.

Hanging, Filling, Cleaning

Position the feeder on a sturdy branch or hook at a height of approximately 1.5 m / 5 ft, ensuring it is at least 2.5 m / 8 ft away from nearby structures to deter squirrels. Before using it for the first time, remove the lid and fill it with your choice of seeds. After replacing the lid, ensure the weight mechanism functions correctly. Regular cleaning is essential to maintain hygiene – empty and wash the feeder every few weeks with warm soapy water. During wet conditions, check that the seeds remain dry, and in winter, ensure that the mechanism remains free of ice.

This feeder is the solution for those wanting to reclaim their garden for birds, minimizing the hassle of constant refilling.
