The need for clearance

Remember it’s the squirrel’s weight that triggers the closing mechanism. If a squirrel can reach over from a nearby foothold and avoid placing weight on the feeder, he will have access to the seed ports. Allow for at least 18 inches or 47 cm of clearance around the feeder. This will force the squirrel to climb onto the feeder, thus triggering the closing mechanism.

Locating your feeder

You can locate this bird feeder anywhere and be squirrel free. Position it to get great close-up views of your favorite birds. Hang your feeder over a window, in a tree, on a deck, a fence, in your garden, on the side of your house, from a rain trough or over sliding doors. Use brackets, extension hooks and tree hooks to hang your feeder at the recommended clearance. Hooks and brackets are available at birding stores, garden centers and hardware supply stores. Your feeder prevents squirrels from eating expensive seed, scaring the birds and damaging your feeder. Enjoy being free of squirrel problems, but please remember, squirrels also need to eat. For the price of a few peanuts, or inexpensive cracked corn, squirrels will be happy to entertain.

Bear proof
★★★★★
“ I have the peanut, legacy and plus. I recently had a mother black bear and oddly 4 cubs dismantle all 4 of my hanging feeders. I watched Mom, tear all of them off the house over the course of 30 minutes. All the metal hangers on the feeders needed to be straightened and bent back into shape at the ends so they could be hung, but they all still function. The Plus tube ended up with 3 tooth punctures but still functions perfectly fine. After retrieving them from the woods, i bent the hangers back and hung them back up. Still working great. Bear resistant if not bear proof if you ask me. Oh, the legacy one was ripped off the house a second time and has no damage other than a slightly bent hanging rod which i had to bend back and form the triangle on the end again. Awesome!”

Excellent design
★★★★★
“ We just bought our first Squirrel Buster feeder and love it. My wife likes to feed the squirrels peanuts, but the squirrels would also empty the nearby bird feeder. It got to the point she stopped putting out bird seed. I looked for a better solution and found your feeders. I thought they were a little pricey, but after receiving the Legacy feeder and seeing how well it is constructed, the price is justified. I enjoy watching squirrels try and get to the seed. As soon as they get a paw on it, it closes and they are thwarted. It's almost more entertaining than watching the birds eat. I will be buying more of your products in the future.”

Not totally squirrel proof
★★★☆☆
“ We've had the Classic for a decade now with great success. Purchased a Legacy this Christmas and the perch has come off several times & we've had to reattach. The squirrel hangs on the top and shakes the feeder - seeds fall out despite the ports closing. The feeder is empty every 3 days this way. Not as successful as the Classic.”
- Kersti Leetmaa

Losing too much seed
★★★☆☆
“ I have 3 Squirrel-buster feeders, the Legacy, the Classic, and the Standard. Lately, I'm losing a crazy amount of seed with my Legacy feeder. Squirrels and birds get on it and shake it, causing so much seed to fall to the ground that I'm refilling it several times a day. I didn't have that problem until recently, and have done everything I know to adjust the settings but to no avail. I'm probably going to replace the Legacy with another Classic. I've looked at the Plus, but it seems like I might lose a lot of seed with that too.”

rusted, sticks
★★★☆☆
“ This definitely keeps out the squirrels, and worked for about a year. But now no matter how I adjust the tension, it stays in the closed position after squirrels jump on it.”
