Brome Squirrel Buster Mini Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder with Metal Perches

Brome Squirrel Buster Mini Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder Squirrel Buster Mini is a truly squirrel-proof bird feeder that holds birdseed. Its compact size is ideal for kids, beginner birdwatchers, or anyone with smaller backyards. Closing Mechanism Remember it's the squirrel's weight that triggers the closing mechanism. If a squirrel can reach over from a nearby foothold and avoid placing weight on the feeder, he will have access to the seed ports. Allow for at least 18 inches or 47 cm of clearance around the feeder. This will force the squirrel to climb onto the feeder, thus triggering the closing mechanism. Ideal Seeds Black oil sunflower or/and safflower seeds are ideal for this birdfeeder. For Both Perching and Clinging Birds The seed ports have perches for perching birds and the wire shroud provides a surface area for clinging birds. This increases your bird traffic. Chew Proof All feeder parts exposed to squirrels are made with chew-proof materials. Detachable Component System It is designed to be dismantled by hand into individual components without the use of tools. This allows for easy cleaning and maintenance. Seed Tube Ventilation Transparent seed tubes trap solar energy and conventional seed tube designs block the escape of the heated air. The Seed Tube Ventilation permits humidity and hot air to escape through vents at the top of the feeder and replaces it with fresh air. Bird food remains fresher, attracting more wild birds. Brome Squirrel Buster Standard Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder with 4 Metal Perches Equipped with patented Squirrel Buster technology, this Brome 1057 Squirrel Buster Standard bird feeder offers an innovative design that attracts birds while keeping squirrels at bay. The bird feeder holds up to 3/4 quarts of birdseed, whether it's Black Oil sunflower seed (good all-round birdseed) or other seed blends specific to your area. Attracts All Kinds of Birds A welcome choice for bird lovers, the squirrel-proof bird feeder attracts a wide variety of clinging and perching birds including American Gold Finches, Chickadees, Hairy Woodpeckers, Cardinals, Indigo Buntings, Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks, White-Breasted Nuthatches, and Purple Finches. Seed Saver Technology Openings in the bottom section of the metal mesh shroud align with the seed tray, providing birds access to the food. When a squirrel climbs onto the feeder, its weight automatically forces the shroud down, closing access to the seed. Squirrels and some large birds are blocked from accessing the seed but are not harmed in any way. Negative Grip Tube Even more, the feeder includes a negative grip tube, which prevents squirrels from grabbing the wire hanger with their hind legs, hanging down alongside the feeder, and defeating the closing mechanism. Seed Ventilation System Traditional transparent seed tube designs trap solar energy and block the escape of hot, moist air. The seed ventilation system lets hot and humid air escape through vents at the top of the feeder as fresh air enters the seed ports and openings on the bottom of the seed tube. Birdseed remains fresher and attracts more birds. The Lasting Beauty of RoxResin Components Remarkable RoxResin is waterproof, rustproof, dishwasher-safe, and UV stabilized. Because the color is blended into the material itself, RoxResin components show little sign of wear and tear, even after prolonged and repeated exposure to the elements or marauding squirrels.
