Squirrel proof bird feeder's

This clever feeder helps ensure that birdseed is reserved for birds, deterring persistent squirrels and larger critters.

An ingenious squirrel-proof bird feeder uses weighted perches or an outer cage to keep squirrels from emptying the seed. It suits backyard bird fans who are tired of watching squirrels win and want more of the seed to reach the birds.

Why squirrel proof bird feeder's make a good gift

  • Solves a common frustration for people who already feed birds in their yard.
  • Can cut down on how often the feeder needs refilling after squirrel raids.
  • Watching the mechanism work often becomes a fun bit of backyard entertainment.

What to look for

  • Check whether it uses weight-activated perches, a cage, or both to block squirrels.
  • Look for metal construction, since squirrels can chew through thin plastic parts.
  • Confirm whether a hanging hook or pole mount is included with the feeder.

Questions people ask

Do squirrel-proof feeders stop every squirrel?
They make feeding much harder for squirrels, but determined ones may still try. Placement away from fences, branches and roofs helps a lot.
Will larger birds still be able to eat?
Some weight-activated feeders close for heavier birds too. Many have an adjustable setting to choose which birds can feed.
