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.

For Real

★★★★★
I put one mini up filled and another empty just to see what my fat grey squirrels would do. They looked and stayed away. There must be more of these feeders in the neighbourhood that they have unsuccessfully practised on. Both feeders are full and the cardinals, blue jays and the littles are enjoying. The squirrels have not touched them but sit in the grass underneath catching the spill over. I’m thrilled.

They mean Lifetime Care!

★★★★★
I received the birdfeeder as a retirement gift in 2014. The plastic cylinder has cracked and been taped over the years, but this winter it finally fell apart. The wonderful folks at Brome sent me a replacement, and I was so impressed with their commitment to customer care. Thanks for happy birds once again!

not great in wet climate

★★★☆☆
I'd like to give this a higher rating as I'm pleased with the product's effectiveness in squirrel-busting, but for the premium price, I'd like to see more thoughtful design. The feeder is great in dry weather, but in the rainy season of Western Oregon, seed gets wet and gums up the feeding ports. I wider lip on the cap/lid would be a welcome improvement.

Great product and well made! Have had for a while now and it's still holding up well! I really have enjoyed watching the bird's and even the squirrels! So far, haven't had any trouble with the squirrels getting into this Squirrel Buster Mini! Thank you!

Squirrel Buster Mini

★★★★★
In the past 30years of feeding the birds in my yard the Brome feeders are truly squirrel proof. I have moved to a much smaller home and had to rethink the large feeders I was once using. I purchased the Mini Squirrel Buster. As like all the other Brome feeders this one didn't let me down. The squirrels tried but couldn't get in.
