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.

Squirrels jump from tree and spin the feeder, spilling seeds on the ground. When the seeds are eaten, squirrels repeat the jump/spin until the feeder is empty. . .

Brome bird feeders

★★★☆☆
Very disappointing that a saucer is not attached to catch falling seeds on your lovely bird feeders as they were previously.

Excellent product and service

★★★★★
My 5 year old feeder was damaged by a very small but aggressive red squirrel. I called customer service and explained the problems. I sent pictures of the damaged parts. I expected to be billed for the replacement parts but they arrived with no charge! My feeder is like new again. Thank you so much for your exemplary customer service. Refreshing to say the least these days.

Wastes a lot of food

★★☆☆☆
This feeder keeps squirrels away and it’s made well. I have to refill this feeder every other day - there’s a lot of wasted food on the ground from the birds. I have tried many different seeds, but i keep finding myself refilling it. I owned 5 of their feeders, and this is by far the one the wastes the most food. I which it had a stopper at the openings for the birds so it won’t spill.

Best ever

★★★★★
Have had mine for years! Last year somehow , the inside mechanics were chewed. ( it’s been a lot of years) . The piece was replaced ( without a charge) and our birds are very happy! Love these feeders, have 2. Baffles help also!

Great - except for the hanger

★★★☆☆
I got the SquirrelBuster Classic to replace the SquirrelBuster Legacy I've had for years. The Legacy was fantastic until a raccoon started ripping the perches off at night. I got the Classic because the perches aren't as easy to rip off. Like the Legacy, it definitely keeps the squirrels off. The birds love it. The only problem - and it's a frustrating one - is the wire loop used to hang it. The Legacy had a stiff hanger that made it easy to remove for refilling; the Classic has a flexible wire that makes it very difficult for me to get the feeder on and off its hanger - especially given the required 18-inches of clearance needed for the feeder to work.
