Squirrel proof bird feeders are great if a pole and squirrel baffle just aren't going to work for your situation. These are perfect for hanging off of decks, tree branches and other locations where the best baffles in the world won't work. Our favorite squirrel proof feeders for many years now are the “Squirrel Buster” feeders from Brome. The seed ports close off whenever a squirrel gets on the feeder and open back up when it jumps off. These feeders really do work and come with a Lifetime Warranty against any squirrel damage to them. If you ever need any repairs done to these feeders just bring them into the store and we will get them fixed up good as new for you.
Another option are the Domed Caged Feeders from industry veterans Droll Yankees, that keep squirrels out and only allow smaller birds inside. We actually sell more of these feeders to customers looking to keep out pesky flocks of blackbirds, starlings & grackels during certain times of year. All of your favorite smaller feeder birds like chickadees, house finches, goldfinches, nuthatches, sparrows, titmice, and other similar sized backyard birds can get right in to feed normally.
We also stock some models that we’ve had in the store since we opened 25 years ago and have become industry standards as well. The “Classic Feeders” come in two different length hanging feeder options with included wrap around plastic baffle and a pole mount version that comes with the feeder, built in squirrel baffle & sectional pole all in one box. The other feeder is called “The Absolute” and comes with both the optional hanger & sectional pole in the box to give you flexibility in how you’d like to use it.
