How it works

Openings in the bottom section of the feeder (shroud) align with seed ports, providing birds access to the seed. When a squirrel climbs onto the feeder, its weight automatically forces the shroud down, closing the seed ports. Squirrels and large birds are foiled but not harmed in any way.

Squirrel Buster PLUS™ Features

Detachable Component System™ Squirrel Buster Plus™ components are designed to be assembled and dismantled easily by hand, without tools, and to fit into your dishwasher. Dishwasher Safe Bird Feeder™ Clean feeders are as important to wild birds as clean dishes are to humans. Grimy bird feeders can be a source of illness that can be fatal for birds. With Squirrel Buster Plus™ detachable components it is effortless to provide the birds you love with a safe and healthy feeder. Regular cleaning of your bird feeder is essential and should never be delayed.

Seed Tube Ventilation System™ Damp and decaying seed decreases bird traffic and can spread disease. Most transparent bird feeder seed tubes trap solar energy just like a greenhouse. The air in Squirrel Buster Plus™ rises and escapes through patented water-proof vents at the top of the feeder. The escaping, heated air is replaced by fresh air entering through the seed ports at the bottom of the tube. The birdseed remains fresh, attracting more birds.

Adjustable Posi-Grip Perch™ Thick, adjustable-length perches with textured surfaces provide a secure and comfortable grip for birds. Attract small birds such as Chickadees and Finches (while deterring larger birds like Grackles and Starlings) by shortening the perches. Perches can also be extended just enough to attract medium-sized birds including Grosbeaks and Woodpeckers. You can exclude large nuisance birds such as Grackles, Starlings, and Doves by using variable length perches and the adjustable spring mechanism.

Cardinal Ring System™ The Squirrel Buster Plus™ can be used with or without the Cardinal Ring System™, an optional posi-grip ring designed especially for Cardinals. Cardinals prefer to grip a thick-textured perch and, because it's awkward for them to turn their short necks to feed, they prefer to face their food source directly. The Squirrel Buster Plus™ Cardinal Ring System™ allows Cardinals to eat facing the seed from a secure and comfortable perch. These Cardinal-friendly feeding features combined with a bush-level location make Squirrel Buster Plus™ very inviting to our scarlet friends.

Pole Adaptor The Squirrel Buster Plus™ can also be pole mounted on a 1" pole using the optional Pole Adaptor. This adaptor easily connects to the feeder. Three prongs on the adaptor align with dimples at the base of the feeder. Made of sturdy cast aluminum and powder coated, this adaptor will last for years. Lifetime Factory Warranty
