From the manufacturer
TRULY SQUIRREL-PROOF FEEDERS BUILT TO LAST!
Disposable products are no longer an option. All of our products are designed with our planet in mind: all parts are designed to be replaceable. The future of new products, manufacturing and the preservation of our planet must be linked to a vision of products made to last.
CLEANING YOUR FEEDER
· Frequency of cleaning varies according to climate.
· Heavy bird traffic can increase the frequency of cleaning.
· Washing by Hand. Wear Gloves!
· Dismantle and discard any accumulation of wild bird food.
· Wash by hand in warm soapy water and/or in 1/10 bleach solution.
· Make sure all components are completely dry before assembling.
· Warning: Bird droppings contain contaminants. Avoid skin contact.
HOW IT WORKS
Openings in the shroud align with the feeding ports, providing birds access to the food. When a squirrel climbs onto the feeder, its weight automatically forces the shroud down, closing access to the ports. Squirrels and some large birds are foiled but not harmed in any way.
FREE SEED FUNNEL
Detach from the feeder, use it to fill the feeder and store it with seeds.

NEED FOR CLEARANCERemember it’s a squirrel’s weight that triggers the closing mechanism. If a squirrel can reach over from a nearby foothold and avoid placing its weight on the feeder, it can access the birdseed. To overcome this problem, allow for at least 18 in/47 cm of clearance around the feeder. This will force the squirrel to climb onto the feeder and trigger the closing mechanism. |
BROME CAREThis is how we support you and our planet. Should you need a part covered under our Brome Care, we will happily provide it to extend the life of our products. The future of the planet must be linked to the vision of products made to last. |
NO TOOLS REQUIREDAll our bird feeders are designed to be dismantled by hand into individual components without the use of tools. This allows for easy cleaning and maintenance. |

This one is the BEST I've had - well worth the price. Having had this feeder for several months now, and observed the squirrel's behavior, I can now list the PROS of this feeder:
1. The spring loaded action PLUS no foothold for squirrels at the bottom:
You won't realize how well this feeder is designed if you haven't seen the antics of really smart squirrels and less well designed feeders!
My previous spring-loaded feeder had a fatal flaw - it had a foot-hold at the bottom which one particularly smart fox squirrel figured out how to use to his advantage. Using his feet at the bottom, and pressing up with his hands at the top, he was able to hold onto the feeder WITHOUT triggering the spring-loaded action, thereby keeping the feeding windows open!
This feeder has NO foothold at the bottom, and the smart fox squirrel can no longer "cheat" the system! He has tried, but failed every time! (He's very disappointed!)
2. The spring loaded action design itself:
This feeder's spring loaded action works MUCH more cleverly than my previous feeder.
Instead of having small flimsy springs on the outside (which kept slipping off after the squirrel's boisterous break-in attempts, and getting weaker and weaker), this feeder has a very sturdy plastic, spring-loaded rod going through the middle of the feeder on the inside! This is totally protected from squirrels, and therefore doesn't slip off or weaken over time.
The spring loaded action also keeps larger birds, such as grackles, off the feeders. This is especially useful if, like us, you sometimes get "grack attacks" in the summer, with 20 or more grackles all trying to storm the feeder. One grackle alone can feed unhindered. But 2 or more grackles on this feeder are too heavy and close the feeding windows. This makes the grackles give up after a while and go elsewhere, allowing the smaller birds to get back on.
3. Secure metal protection around the feeding windows:
I'm very happy with the sturdiness of the metal around the feeding windows.
My previous spring-loaded feeder had flimsy, detachable metal bars around the feeding windows. Once the smart squirrel had over-ridden the spring loaded action, he was then able to knock these detachable metal bars off and chew through the plastic, widening the feeding windows for his access!
This feeder won't let the smart fox squirrel override the spring-loaded system anyway, but if somehow he did, I have no worries about him knocking off the metal around these feeding windows - they are far more sturdy, securely locked down, not removable, and go around the entire feeding window.
4. The securely locking LID:
This is perhaps the BEST feature of this feeder!
My previous spring-loaded feeder did not have the securely locking lid that this one has. It had a lid with a small spring that loosened every time I had to fill the feeder until the spring eventually broke. Once broken, the squirrels easily managed to prize the lid off, then dive into the feeder! (They were also then able to chew the plastic around the top of the feeder, widening their access!)
This locking lid works by having 2 metal buttons, one on each side, that you have to push simultaneously with your hands, to open the lid. These are sturdy and I can't imagine them breaking or loosening. They are also impossible for squirrels or anyone other than a capable human to manage. (They were even a bit tricky for me at first, but after a bit of practice, I've mastered them!)
5. Unchewable metal cage:
So far, this is definitely holding up. The smart squirrel (that used to override my previous feeder's spring-loaded action) has been trying to chew through the metal on this one. I can see teeth marks and scratches on the surface of the metal, but that's it. He hasn't been able to do more than scratch it. He's very frustrated!
6. Unchewable plastic:
This hasn't been put to the test yet, (as the squirrels haven't broken through the other features yet), but the plastic on the inside of this feeder, under the metal cage, looks a TON sturdier than my previous feeder. This product does claim that it is chew-proof. Seeing how impressive all the other features are, I'm confident this is true too.
I don't think the squirrels will ever be able to prize the securely locking lid off this feeder, or override the spring-loaded feature, or chew through the metal cage.
However, let's say I accidentally left the lid unlocked, (which hasn't happened yet, but, hypothetically...) I feel sure that the squirrels wouldn't be able to do what they did to my previous feeder - i.e. chew the plastic around the top of the feeder, widening their access to the food.
7. Proper drainage at the bottom, keeping bird food dry:
This is a really good added bonus.
My previous spring-loaded feeder had a poorly designed bottom. It had inaccessible spaces at the bottom, leaving bird seed to gather there, uneaten. It also had no drainage holes. Inevitably, this bird seed got damp and moldy and was difficult to clean out.
This feeder has a very well designed bottom. It has no inaccessible spaces - the birds can get to all the seed at the bottom, leaving no waste. It also has drainage holes at the bottom, allowing moisture to drain out, keeping the bird food drier for longer.
8. Well designed slanted roof lid, keeping bird food dry:
Another bonus feature.
My previous spring-loaded feeder not only didn't have a securely locking lid, it also had a FLAT lid, where rainwater and snow could gather!
This feeder has a slanted roof lid, allowing rain to run off, and away from the feeder, keeping the bird food drier for longer. It also has a very small, cone-shaped piece of rubber above the lid, on the wire, which prevents rain water wicking down the wire and dripping onto the lid. Fantastic little detail!
9. Funnel for filling the feeder:
Another nice bonus.
I'm very glad they provided a funnel to go with this feeder. With the secure locking lid, it would be a bit tricky to fill the feeder without the funnel (especially if your feeder is tied to the tree branch as mine is). The funnel is sturdy and specially designed to fit the feeder, keeping the spring loaded rod in the middle out of your way, as you pour the food in. It does what it's supposed to do, i.e. prevents seed spilling out as you pour, and therefore making filling so much easier.
I haven't got any "CONS" to list at all for this feeder. Even the slightly more expensive price seems very fair. It's a very good investment, well worth the price. If I hadn't known how much grief the squirrels were going to give me with my previous (cheaper) feeders, I wouldn't have bothered with them, and would have gone straight for this one in the first place!
This feeder is long and needs to be placed far enough away from the ground/shrubs. I use a hook that extends beyond my deck railing. It doesn’t keep the squirrels from jumping and wrapping their bodies around the feeder as they “land”; however, it makes it much more difficult. Let’s face it — squirrels will find a way to get to food. The trick is slowing them down substantially to allow more birds to feed. This feeder accomplishes that better than most.
I removed a half-star only because the first feeder I received had the cage mounted upside down, which made it impossible for the birds to access the ports and which opened the ports as soon as a squirrel applied its weight. I didn’t realize the defect for several days — after all, I had used this style of feeder before — and only because the birds weren’t feeding from it. This major defect suggests that quality-control may be lax. Check your feeder before you remove it from all the packaging.
I like that the feeder comes with a yellow plastic seed funnel that comes attached to the bottom and must be removed by pressing in the tabs. It makes filling much easier. Although I’m not wild about the yellow interior piece, it does make the seed level obvious at a glance.
This feeder is best for seed mixes and sunflower seeds. Bird lovers will appreciate how the seed lasts longer when you can prevent squirrels from getting to it.

It took a few days for the birds to discover the feeder. I first noticed them around 5 am today. About six song birds were crowded around, busily feeding without any difficulty. No squirrels to speak of yet...
I will update the review at the end of the summer if there are any issues.
