PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Enjoy Peaceful Birdwatching with the Squirrel Buster® Classic — a truly squirrel-proof bird feeder designed for bird lovers who care about quality and comfort. Featuring a patented weight-activated mechanism, this feeder automatically closes access to seed when a squirrel climbs on, keeping your seed safe without harm to squirrels. Made with chew-proof, UV-resistant materials, the Classic is built to last through seasons of feeding. The feeder’s staggered seed ports are thoughtfully positioned to let multiple birds feed at once—without crowding or competition. Birds of all sizes will appreciate the thick, super comfortable perches that make it easy to settle in and enjoy a meal. With a generous 2.4 lb seed capacity and 4 feeding ports, the Squirrel Buster Classic is perfect for attracting a wide variety of clinging and perching birds like chickadees, finches, and cardinals.

The bird feeder holds up to 1.4 quarts of bird seed, whether it's Black Oil sunflower seed (a good all-round birdseed) or other seed blends specific to your area. 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. SQUIRREL-PROOF / CHEW-PROOF Openings in the wire shroud align with seed ports and provide birds access to the seed. When a squirrel climbs onto the feeder, its weight automatically forces the shroud down, closing access to the seed ports. All squirrels and many 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. PLACE THE FEEDER ALMOST ANYWHERE Locate your feeder just about anywhere--no more worrying about those pesky squirrels. Position the feeder by your deck, in a nearby tree, or over a favorite window for those great close-up views. The bird feeder hangs easily with the use of wall brackets, branch hooks, or extension hooks. Be sure to allow for at least 16 inches (40 cm) of clearance around the feeder. This clearance will prevent a squirrel from reaching over from a nearby foothold to access the seed without placing its weight on the feeder. Forcing the squirrel to climb all the way onto the feeder triggers the closing mechanism, preventing access. EASY TO FILL AND CLEAN The Squirrel Buster Classic 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. To clean, wash the components of Squirrel Buster Classic with a solution of dish detergent and warm water. Rinse with a solution of white vinegar, a mild natural disinfectant. The bird feeder should be hand washed only; it is not dishwasher-safe.
