Gardman A01820 Heavy Duty Squirrel Proof Seed Bird Feeder, Multi-colour, 12.75 kg

Product Information

A different method of preventing pigeons (and squirrels) from hogging the food is to stop them from being able to sit on the feeder. Weight-sensitive perches achieve this goal. Many bird feeders have perches around the outside for the birds to sit on. Future Garden are not liable for any additional fees that may be incurred. Any unexpected costs must be paid by you (the customer). If you want to feed your garden birds and not the local squirrels, the Gardman Squirrel Proof Seed Feeder is for you!

Similar models from the same manufacturer are all highly reviewed. The Squirrel Buster Nut Feeder, Two Meshes has two chambers with different meshes for different seeds, nuts and fruit, the Squirrel Buster Classic Bird Feeder has a longer feeding chamber, six perches and holds 1.1kg of seeds, etc and for those with hungry bird visitors, the Squirrel Buster Legacy Bird Feeder is a larger version of our reviewed model that holds 1.2kg of bird feed. Pros The Gardman Heavy Duty Squirrel Proof Seed Feeder is the best feeder for keeping fully-grown squirrels and larger birds away from your garden bird feeding areas as this feeder features a die cast metal cage in a gunmetal finish which only smaller birds can fit through. If weight-sensitive perches are used, there’s no need for a separate feed tube in the bird feeder and the feeder itself can be just one tube, perhaps of clear plastic. Once you have started to feed the birds it is important to continue this, and develop a routine, as the birds will become reliant upon your help

Frequently Asked Questions

The feed tray, for whatever food you want to put out, is suspended by three galvanised chains within the dome and hangs off the ground a bit. Small birds can hop through at ground level and feast on the seeds etc. Ground Feeders – These might not be too popular, but they’re great for ground feeding birds like Junkos, Sparrows and Towhees.This model of Squirrel Buster bird feeder has four perches around the base set outside the four feed portals.
