Panacea Chateau Squirrel Resistant Seed Feeder

A Stunning squirrel resistant seed feeder holding up to 3.13kg of bird seed.  This two sided feeder has been cleverly designed to prevent access to squirrels and larger birds.

The spring activated perches can be adjusted for different weight birds.  The perches will shut when a squirrel or larger bird lands on them, preventing access to the food.

The feeder has a built in 'no waste baffle' preventing waste seed from dropping onto the ground.  

Made from strong powder coated metal.

Dimensions - 25.4 x 20.32 x 30.48 cm

*A Note on Juvenile Squirrels

The feeders can only protect against adult grey squirrels and large adult birds such as magpies, crow’s rooks etc, which ultimately do the most damage.  Some birds, such as a woodpecker, will not fit through the bars but could manage to get their beaks inside and access the food.

There is always a chance than an adolescent young squirrel could squeeze into the bars and access the feeder.  The young squirrels look very similar to adults but are actually far fluffier making them much more flexible!  Squirrels are normally born in March, April, July and August so there may well be a risk around these months. This is short term issue and will be the problem of any feeder that has researched the necessary bar spacing required.  You may also find that adolescent jackdaws, crows and pigeons may find their way in.  The bars on these feeders cannot be made smaller to protect from adolescent or red squirrels as this would pose a risk to the birds.

If squirrels do manage to get into the feeders to prevent damage to the plastic tubes a dash of chilli flakes mixed in with the nuts or seeds will have no effect on the birds at all but will deter the squirrels.
