The birds' favourite by far

This is without doubt the favourite with the birds in my garden - includes goldfinches, sparrows, great tits, coal tits, blue tits and blackcaps.
I have around 8 feeders in my garden, 3 of which are squirrel proof and I only put the premium feed in these (e.g. sunflower hearts). Even compared to the other squirrel proof feeders, this is by far the most popular and I fill it twice a week and have never seen a squirrel get in....in over 2 years. I know how cunning they are as have seen them get round all sorts in the past, but this is the only product i'm yet to see them get through.
I quesion the other reviews that criticise that only small birds can get into this....there's a clue in the product name in that it will not allow anything in smaller than (you guessed it!) a squirrel. Therefore, for those hoping to attract magpies, blackbirds, waxwings, pigeons, sparrowhawks, squirels or even rats I would recommend buying a bird table.
Very easy to refill and clean, top quality, will be buying more. |
Squirrel proof!

| At last a squirrel proof bird feeder ... now got both peanut and seed feeder the same type ... great fun watching very confused squirrels trying to figure them out ... they're not as clever as they think ... first class pieces of kit! |
Sparrows can eat as well now.

| At last the sparrows can get a look in, as the larger and very greedy Starlings cannot get to the food. Is very easy to refill, and to take apart to clean. |
not squirrel proof

| This is a very well made bird seed feeder and I expect it will last for years However, do not expect it to be "squirrel proof" My local squirrel (I only have one) gets in - and out, with ease. It does, however, keep out magpies and jays - and once the little birds get used to it, it is successful for them. So, sadly, a mixed bag - I wonder when they designed it, if they only tested it on very stupid squirrels... |
doesn't work

Only small birds can get in, and squirrels have little trouble in working out how to get to the seeds. Email sent to my wife a moment ago: I give up. Just saw a squirrel clinging to the globe with three limbs, arm stretched through the hole, successfully reaching the dispenser with its hand and helping him/herself to the seeds. They'll inherit the earth. xxxx
To stop squirrels from reaching the seeds the globe should be bigger. |
