Thanks to its wide metal cage design, this metal squirrel proof bird feeder allows small birds to feed while preventing larger birds and squirrels from accessing the food. Hard-wearing, this durable metal bird feeder holds approximately 510g of peanuts inside the stainless steel inner container. Thanks to its small mesh design, smaller birds are much less likely to choke on large peanut chunks, unlike models with wide mesh dispensers. Its new metal chew-proof design keeps rats and squirrels out while the feeding ports close automatically when large birds and other heavy pests attempt to feed. Thanks to its large 1.5L capacity, you can spend more time watching your local songbirds and less time having to refill with seeds.

This set of three squirrel-proof bird feeders by Kingfisher will allow you to feed seeds, nuts and fat balls to smaller garden birds without having to worry about greedy squirrels, crows, pigeons or other big birds gorging themselves. This rust-resistant model is ideal for feeding small garden birds. Thanks to its six feeding ports and perches, it has a strong plastic construction. The transparent seed reservoir lets you see from afar when your birds are ready for a refill and protects your seeds from the elements for fresh dry food in all weathers.The only question mark we have is over whether or not it will rust over time. According to the manufacturer, it shouldn’t rust, but over many years, there’s the (minimal) chance it may rust and, therefore, become porous and not as waterproof. However, this is unlikely. Overall, we’re happy to class this as a waterproof bird feeder. WEATHER PROOF – KEEPS SEED DRY & FRESH – The PestOff bird feeder has a built in weather guard to keep the seed fresh and dry to prevent seed clogging. Seed clogging is a common problem with other weight activated bird feeders that have no seed protection. If you’ll be regularly filling up your feeder, it’s important that it is easy to refill. Also, as hygiene is very important to keeping garden birds healthy and preventing the spread of diseases, you’ll want a model that is easy to clean. Bird feeders that can be entirely dismantled for cleaning will help ensure your bird population’s health and happiness. Construction One of the main advantages of caged bird feeders is their simplicity and durability. Unlike spring-loaded versions, which can become less effective as they age or motorised spinning squirrel-proof bird feeders that need recharging, cage models do not require any specialised setup or maintenance, aside from regular cleaning. Weight-Sensitive or Spring-Loaded Bird Feeders

Built to Last: Crafted with heavy-duty metal baffles and a riot-grade shield quality tube, this feeder isn't just resistant, it's virtually indestructible. No squirrel has chewed through it. Mounting your feeders on a metal pole away from branches will help to prevent squirrels from reaching your bird food.The hanging copper coloured BF001 Bird Feeding Station by Sahara Sailor is an attractive 2-in-1 bird feeder that provides an unobscured view of your feeding feathered friends. The first word that springs to mind when handling the feeder is ‘sturdy’. It just feels robust, solid, and like it will be durable. As we mentioned above, we prefer an all-metal design as metal is certainly more pest-proof than plastic, so this feeder definitely scores highly in his regard. Given its construction, it is more weighty than a plastic bird feeder of a similar size, but it’s not so heavy as to cause issues, i.e. being too heavy to hang up, get into position etc. Motorised squirrel-proof bird feeders use a weight-activated motor that activates when a large bird or squirrel lands on your feeder. The motor gently spins the feeder around so that larger birds fly away or the squirrel falls off. Once the heavy weight is removed, the feeder stops spinning automatically.

This three-piece bird feeder set by Easipet includes three different coloured squirrel resistant feeders. Each feeder is designed to hold a different type of bird food, seed, fat balls or nuts to increase the variety of bird species in your garden. Well, in today’s piece, we’re going to examine one of the most popular ‘squirrel proof’ bird feeders currently available on the market, the Roamwild PestOff Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder, to see if a bird feeder can be 100% squirrel proof. To do so, we’re not only going to review it based on its design, construction, and function, but we’ve also field tested it for six weeks to see how it fared in the heat of battle. Ok, so not quite battle, but you know what I mean!No tools are required to reassemble this feeder after cleaning and refilling, which makes it very easy to use. Durable and well-made, this model also benefits from a lifetime guarantee, making it definitely worth the money if you are looking for a tried and tested way to keep squirrels away from your birdseed. The question is, how do you stop this? Is there any surefire way of making sure these critters don’t gobble every morsel of food before the birds get their fair share? This plastic bird feeder by Urban Decay is a nice bright red colour and comes ready to hang, complete with a sturdy metal hook. The tube itself can hold 1.5 litres of seed, which is a fair amount and will last for many, many weeks. Although some will advise against larger birder due to the fact that seed can get wet and mouldy, in addition to the fact that they’re typically harder to clean, if this model is 100% waterproof, it will mean that its size won’t count against it and will actually make it a more appealing product.
