Squirrel Buster Classic Squirrel-proof Bird Feeder

The Squirrel Buster Classic bird feeder offers an innovative design that attracts a wide variety of clinging and perching birds while effectively keeping squirrels at bay. Equipped with patented Squirrel Buster technology, this feeder holds up to 1.4 quarts of bird seed, whether it's Black Oil sunflower seed or other seed blends specific to your area.

The feeder's openings in the wire shroud align with the seed ports, providing birds easy access to the food. However, when a squirrel climbs onto the feeder, its weight automatically triggers the shroud to close, preventing the squirrel and many large birds from accessing the seed. This squirrel-proof mechanism is harmless, yet highly effective in deterring these pesky foragers.

Moreover, the feeder includes a negative grip tube that prevents squirrels from grabbing the wire hanger with their hind legs and hanging down alongside the feeder, thereby defeating the closing mechanism. This ensures that squirrels can no longer steal your wild bird seed, leading to substantial savings over time that will pay for the feeder's purchase.

Designed with both perching and clinging birds in mind, the Squirrel Buster Classic feeder offers a versatile feeding solution. The seed ports have perches for perching birds, while the wire shroud provides a surface area for clinging birds, increasing the overall bird traffic at your feeder.

Locating the feeder is easy, as it can be placed just about anywhere - by your deck, in a nearby tree, or over a favorite window for those great close-up views. The feeder hangs easily with the use of wall brackets, branch hooks, or extension hooks, and you'll need to allow for at least 16 inches (40 cm) of clearance around it to prevent squirrels from reaching over from a nearby foothold.

Maintaining the Squirrel Buster Classic is a breeze, as it dismantles easily for filling and cleaning. A handy maximum-seed-level indicator on the bottom of the yellow center-post cap helps prevent over-filling, and the components can be hand-washed with a solution of dish detergent and warm water, followed by a rinse with a mild natural disinfectant like white vinegar.

In conclusion, the Squirrel Buster Classic is a time-honored feeder that birds can always count on, offering a truly squirrel-proof design that safeguards your bird seed investment while providing an engaging birdwatching experience.
