Supa Squirrel Proof Seed Feeder

This clever squirrel-proof feeder is designed to deter both squirrels and large, aggressive birds, allowing smaller garden birds to feed in peace. Suitable for seed mixes and sunflower hearts, the sleek black feeder uses an anti-squirrel baffle and weight-sensitive, spring-loaded perches to keep squirrels out. When a squirrel attempts to use the feeder, the weight triggers the spring-loaded ports to close, denying access.

The perches are designed to let birds feed comfortably while still allowing them to watch for approaching predators.

Instructions:

The feeder is easy to open by pressing inwards the two spring loaded lugs on the roof and lifting off the lid to allow the seed reservoir to be filled. Once the feeder is full, hang it in your garden.

Warning: This feeder is not suitable for the feeding of peanuts.

Cleaning: It is always worthwhile cleaning your feeder occasionally with warm water and a mild disinfectant solution to avoid he build-up of bacteria.

Hints & Tips

• Squirrels are persistent creatures and will endeavour to get from the feeder. Additional measures to deter squirrels are:
• Ensure that the feeder is positioned away from neaby trees, if on a feeding station we recommend a squirrel baffle..
• As an extra deterrent to the Squirrels getting onto a feeder a tree hook can be used as this will increase the distance between the feeder and the hanging point.
• Provide a Squirrel Feeder for the Squirrels as this may encourage them to feed from their own specific feeder and leave the wild bird feeder alone.
• Add a dash of strong chilli powder to the seed mix. Squirrels do not appreciate the taste of the chilli powder, but birds are not bothered by it.

A note on Squirrel Protection*

* Although this feeder is squirrel and large bird proof we cannot guarantee that the juvenile squirrels and  younger large birds which are far more agile and lighter than the adult species wont be able to activate the ports.  Juveniles and young are more of a problem during the Spring and Summer months.
