Brome 1057 Squirrel Buster Standard Wild Bird Feeder 1.3 Lb Capacity

This feeder is sturdy, attractive, and well made. Its weight-sensitive mechanism can be adjusted so the seed openings close when squirrels or larger birds land on it. A crow initially managed to eat through a partially open slot, but after I adjusted the setting to respond to less weight, I did not see it feeding there again. The 1.3-pound capacity is generous; I use only about one-fifth at a time so the seed is consumed within a few hours. Be aware that sparrows can scatter a considerable amount of seed beneath the feeder, which may still attract squirrels and rodents unless the ground is cleaned regularly. Assembly took a little figuring out because the online video was not very clear, but it was manageable. I also appreciate that replacement parts are available from the manufacturer. It is expensive, but its quality, adjustability, and repairable design make it worthwhile.

The squirrels have been unable to get the seed out of this feeder, so far. I've watched them jump on it and their weight closes off the seed portals! The birds are loving it! Just wish it held a little more seed. If it continues to work well, I'll probably get another one. The price was also 👍

It did not work for us. We followed the installation instructions. We were so happy. It took a couple of days before the birds found it. I noticed the birds weight was not heavy enough to allow them to get to the seeds. And, the squirrels had a feast. They dropped it to the ground and we would found it the next day it on the ground empty.

This bird feeder is absolutley squirrel proof. They now just hang around on the ground hoping to get some food from where a bird may drop it. Best bird feeder I have ever had
