About this deal

If you have a bird feeder that is not squirrel proof, and you don’t want to buy a specially designed squirrel proof one (i.e. not one of the above selection), you can easily squirrel proof your existing feeder: If you want to feed your garden birds and not the local squirrels, the Gardman Squirrel Proof Seed Feeder is for you! Tired of squirrels raiding your bird feeder every day? How about using a bird feeder that is both effective and aesthetic too? The Jacobi Jayne Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder lets birds fed freely while denying access to squirrels by way of a simple weight mechanism. Once a squirrel gets on, its weight automatically shuts off all feeder ports. Similar models from the same manufacturer are all highly reviewed. The Squirrel Buster Nut Feeder, Two Meshes has two chambers with different meshes for different seeds, nuts and fruit, the Squirrel Buster Classic Bird Feeder has a longer feeding chamber, six perches and holds 1.1kg of seeds, etc and for those with hungry bird visitors, the Squirrel Buster Legacy Bird Feeder is a larger version of our reviewed model that holds 1.2kg of bird feed. Pros The feeding tube of the Gardman Heavy Duty Squirrel Proof Bird Seed Feeder is made of a hard wearing polycarbonate that lasts for years in all weathers under normal use.

The feed tray, for whatever food you want to put out, is suspended by three galvanised chains within the dome and hangs off the ground a bit. Small birds can hop through at ground level and feast on the seeds etc. Squirrel proof feeders come in three types; Spring Loaded Feeders, Caged Feeders and add-ons for your existing feeder, such as the excellent Squirrel Baffle. For All Your Garden Needs There is also a version of this bird feeder that is designed to hold peanut pieces instead of seed and one that holds suet balls. You can put out the type of food that each species of bird prefers. ProsThis bird feeder is a long cylinder made of green metal mesh with small grid openings. The seed capacity of this feeder is just 0.5kg and you refill the feeder by unscrewing the lid and pouring the seed in. This is a feeder designed for birdseed, either a single variety or a mix. Assembly of the feeder is super easy and you don’t need any tools. Like the best models, this one also uses a weighted mechanism to automatically keep squirrels, rats, rodents and large birds from stealing all the seeds. The squirrel proof feeder from Roamwild goes a step further by incorporating tough, chew proof 304 grade stainless steel seed ports to stop destructive rodents and pests from gnawing through. Filling up the feeder is a cinch, although it swallows up quite a large amount of seeds. It’s ideal for use with sunflower hearts or any assortment of mixed seeds. What I like about it:

The Selections Ground Bird Feeder Haven Cage looks different from the other bird feeders in this review but it works the same way. This Selections bird feeder is basically a metal cage in a half-dome shape that sits on the ground. The cage has bars going down it that are spaced closely so that large birds, including pigeons, can’t get through the gaps. Spherical, powder-coated steel bird feeder with grid holes large enough to let small birds through. Seed Feeders – Most popular due to the variety of seeds you can get to fill them. More seeds equals wider species birds. They come in a variety of designs from tubular stations to hopper type. Seed feeders can be hung from a fence, branch, or mounted on a post. Whether you choose a hanging squirrel-proof feeder or one on a pole, we have something for everyone. Our squirrel proof bird feeders are strong and durable enough to keep those little paws out and for maximum protection, take a look at the Squirrel Buster products, which are guaranteed to keep the critters out. Of course, if you feel sorry for the little furballs, you can always leave a little food out for them too.

A. Wild birds are selective over what they eat and when. It is not that they do not like it but they might have another source or they don’t need it right now. Never remove or stop feeding these seeds as shortages can happen at any time. Once you have started to feed the birds it is important to continue this, and develop a routine, as the birds will become reliant upon your help Perches may also be adjustable in size. If you want to attract only small birds, make the perches narrow so that only small bird feet can grip there. Larger birds wobble off of these perches and give up in disgust. As its name says, this bird feeder is intended for seeds for birds. You fill the tube up by removing the lid on the top of the unit and then just pouring the seeds into the tube. With four perches and the same number of portals, a group of birds can enjoy their meal at the same time. Birds waiting for their turn can sit inside the outer grid on the metal rods that make up the floor. Large birds (and squirrels) are kept away from the food as they can’t get through the relatively small gaps in the grid. And if they hang from the outside of the grid, the feed tube is too far away for them to reach.

At the top of the domed lid is a metal pipe through which the hanging mechanism goes. Neither large birds nor squirrels have much to nibble on and destroy there. Spring-loaded perches close when too much weight is applied such as by a pigeon or other large birds The Roamwild Pestoff Squirrel-Proof Wild Bird Feeder, 1.5L of birdseed, is a sleek clear plastic tube with a green plastic top and base. It keeps pigeons and squirrels away by using weight-sensitive perches to close the gates to the feed openings when something heavy sits on them. The gate opens when the pigeon flies away in disgust. A different method of preventing pigeons (and squirrels) from hogging the food is to stop them from being able to sit on the feeder. Weight-sensitive perches achieve this goal. Many bird feeders have perches around the outside for the birds to sit on. Our caged bird feeders are designed to keep squirrels and pigeons out while allowing smaller birds to feed freely. We've also got a selection of squirrels guards and baffles that do a great job of preventing squirrels from getting at your bird food.A. It is not uncommon for birds to take some time to visit new feeders or food that is offered. It can be down to the species in your area and other food resources that are available. Make sure you are providing some cover for the birds and make available some fresh drinking water. Regular cleaning will keep your feeder operational for longer. To maintain hygiene levels, regular cleaning of your feeders and drinking water/bathing stations is essential. Jacobi Jayne incorporated chew proof materials to make sure that some of these toothy rodents don’t gnaw through. The material is also rust proof, waterproof and UV stabilized so it doesn’t lose its colour overtime. But it’s not all business; the patented seed tube is thoroughly ventilated to keep the air flowing and seed fresh. As a bonus, the feeder easily adjusts so you can also keep out larger birds like crows and pigeons. What I like about it:
