Squirrel Buster Nut
This is a new design rolled in 2021! From the minute we hung the feeder outside, it has enjoyed non-stop squirrel-free action! A favourite of Downy, Hairy and Red-bellied Woodpeckers, it also attracts other nut-loving birds such as Carolina Wrens, Titmice, Red-breasted and White-breasted Nuthatches, and Chickadees.
A No Mess No Waste™ option for clinging birds, with a tail prop for woodpeckers.
Built to hold a generous 3/4 quarts of shelled peanuts, suet nuggets, assorted nuts and fruits.
What makes this feeder squirrel proof? An ingenious weight-sensitive metal perforated sleeve or shroud that surrounds the seed reservoir slides down over the ports when a red or gray squirrel jumps onto the feeder, making the seed inaccessible. In addition to thwarting squirrels, you can adjust the feeder to help control heavier birds (think Blue Jay or Grackle).
There are two sizes of mesh that one may use inside the box, according to the size of the nut, seed, nugget or fruit you may want to use. The unique exterior metal shroud below the mesh serves as a tail prop and enables woodpeckers to easily access your seed. Woodpeckers use their tails as a “third leg” or prop! This feeder allows for great viewing of the entire bird.
