Squirrel proof!

We live in a rural area with lots of critters, so feeding the birds can be a challenge. If they are low enough for us to fill them, they're also low enough for deer and turkeys to eat from them. But what really bugs my husband is to look out the window and see a squirrel noshing from a bird feeder. We've tried several others that claimed to be squirrel proof, but this is the only one that's proved the claim. We've had several of them out year-round, and they've held up and lasted a long time. I think they are expensive, but they do work.

Love!

I can't say enough about how much I love this feeder. I had the same design, probably by another manufacturer, for years. It finally had to be replaced. I needed another quickly before the cold came and to save money, just picked one with a small cover. Big mistake and cost me more money because I hated it. The seed was constantly clumping because of being wet. Which caused wasted food and time cleaning out the feeder, often. I used it for the season and now that one is in the back of my shed. I purchased this to replace it and never should have tried to save money. This feeder is the best I have found. I hang a platform feeder under it for big birds and my squirrels, it is not squirrel proof. I love it!

Easy to fill but not completely effective against squirrels

The main value of this feeder is the ease of filling it. That is a very convenient feature. But if you want to stop squirrels from stealing the seed, I think you will need to look for a better design because this feeder will not stop completely stop squirrels from getting to the seed. The way it is supposed to work is by using the weight of a squirrel clinging to the wire cage to cause the cage to lower over the feeding ports. But the weakness of this feeder is the wires by which the feeder is suspended. I have noticed that squirrels eventually learn to not cling to the cage itself but rather to just suspend themselves from the wires with their back feet while hanging over the feeder cap. Because the squirrel's weight is on the wires rather than the cage, the cage does not close over the feeding holes, and the squirrels eat the seed through the feeding holes. I suspect that it is going to be very difficult to completely stop squirrels from stealing seed, and many of the "squirrel-proof" feeders will not be completely effective. So, when buying a "squirrel-proof" feeder, I would suggest to look closely at the design because squirrels are very persistent seed thieves. Update 1: I noticed another problem with this feeder. I had a squirrel leap on it and caused the cage to lower with great force. It actually knocked the base (which only snapped on to allow for cleaning) completely off. With the base off, the cage locked in the down position because it went too far down. To fix this issue, I bent the ends of the springs upward to prevent the downward force of the cage from knocking off the base. Update 2: In order to prevent squirrels from gripping the wires suspending the feeder, I cut the bottom out of a 1/2 gallon plastic milk bottle and shaped it to fit over the wires. I pulled the top of the wire through the neck of the bottle to form a loop at the top. Then I cut out the front of the bottle to expose the snap lid of the feeder to allow for adding the seed. I am now watching to see if the squirrels figure out a way to still get to the seed. Update 3: The plastic milk bottle idea works perfectly. But due to its stronger construction and wider shape, a 1/2 gallon clear plastic orange juice bottle works even better. Simply remove the labels (unless you want to advertise the brand of orange juice you drink) and cut off the bottom high enough to fit between the flange at the top of the feeder and the size of the wire loop you will need to hang the feeder. Then, if desired, cut out enough of one side to allow easy filling of the feeder. Put the juice bottle over the feeder and pull a loop of the wire hanger through the top to allow the feeder to be hung normally. When squirrels grip the top of the bottle to hang down over the bottle to access one of the feeder holes, the weight of the squirrel presses against the flange attached to the cage and lowers it over the feed holes. I do not see any way that the squirrels are going to be able to defeat this innovation (apart from just knocking the feeder off of its support onto the ground).

Good but could be better.

Overall, this was a decent feeder that did indeed thwart our local squirrel population. There were a few limitations, however. For one, the spring holding the closing mechanism is pretty weak. If you have a few larger breeds of birds on this thing at the same time, it will close on them. Secondly, you will notice, that when the feeder gets about half empty, then the top doors no longer receive food. This is a pretty popular feeding area, so the competition gets a little heated if there is only two of the small perches available for feeding. And, because this is a fairly small feeder, it doesn't take much time for the feed to empty past the top 2 perches. My recommendations: 1) move the top two perches lower on the feeder. 2) provide a means to adjust the tension on the springs, so that we can "tune" the feeder to a weight that still keeps the squirrels at bay - but isn't so lightweight that it closes on the larger species such as multiple cardinals. I've seen that capability on another feeder from a competitor, and I may go to that company for their version, if I decide to supplement or replace this one.

The Top doesn't stay closed

I like the feeder. I returned the first one beacuse the top wouldn't click closed. I returned it only to have the second one do the same thing. I didn't want to bother to return it again. Now I tape it and retape each time it needs filling. It is inconvenient. Don't know why I kept it.

Not 100% Squirrel Proof, But Close with Modifications

This feeder can be ALMOST squirrel proof with some modifications. Conceptually, the feeder should work, and it is very well constructed, with built in metal reinforcements around the bird food holes. But Squirrels quickly figure out on the standard feeder that they can hang upside down by grabbing the suspension wire and eat to their heart’s content with triggering the feeder shut. This is a common flaw with all bird feeders that have a spring “trap” mechanism using gravity to try and keep squirrels from snacking. Inspired by another review here, and seemingly foiled by various small modifications to the base feeder, I landed on cutting a milk jug in half and putting a slinky on top of the jug. It works pretty well. I would think the pictured setup would work best on a standalone metal hook setup. This setup doesn’t let the squirrel hang from the feeder anymore - but with some persistence from the squirrel, they can hang perfectly from the supporting branch which the feeder is on (and the branch isn’t a 45 degree angle type of setup) to slightly snack. All things equal, this, this has probably reduced 70-80% of the squirrels eating from the feeder, which works for me.

Not Squirrel Proof

I had to buy a dome to keep the squirrels out of it. They were getting into it from the top. One perch came off within a few months of buying it.

Looks and works as advertised - smaller than you thought it would be

So, I already have one of those big, metal, double-sided bird feeders where there are ports along the two sides and the full-length bars that the birds stand on are (adjustably) spring-loaded, so if anything heavier than a couple of birds lands on the bar it sags and closes off the ports. I also have a sizeable clear-plastic tube feeder (the kind with brass ports in the tube at various heights, and a catch-tray on the bottom. The squirrels love the tube feeder, as do the birds when they can get a beak in, edgewise. The big metal hopper works very well, but is just not as attractive to any of the yard fauna. So, in an effort to provide an experience similar to the tube feeder, but with squirrel-exclusion, I bought this More Birds Sure Fill No Spill gizmo. It works pretty-much as advertised. The spring tension is not adjustable (like on the big metal bin feeder), but the squirrels had no luck with it and lost interest. The problem is that the birds never developed any interest. I sometimes let the big tube feeder go dry, and that does encourage the birds to move to the metal beast and clean that out within a few days (at least during late summer and early fall). But the skinny little More Birds feeder still gets minimal interest. It holds a tiny fraction of the amount that goes into the big tube, and still it takes a couple of weeks for the level to get near the bottom. The squirrels and birds take the big tube feeder down to completely empty in a couple of days. If that's left empty, they'll empty the big metal bin feeder in about 3 days, and that's virtually all birds accessing that one. The only red squirrel that ever figured out the metal feeder seems to have died or left, and the blacks and greys just never caught on. I can't be bothered buying one of those spinning, battery-powered, squirrel-tossing feeders. This unfortunately tiny-for-the-price More Birds feeder is the last one I'll get for a while. I'll just put up with the squirrels getting half-or-more of the feed that goes through the big tube feeder, 'cuz it nevertheless supports dozens of LBJs(*), chickadees, cardinals, Jays, grackles, mourning doves, some LBJs with reddish face and chest (don't know what kind), and even the occasional small woodpecker. Our indoor-only kitty just loves watching all that back-yard action. So do I, for that matter. But the More Birds 106IN SureFill No Spill X4 Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder with Four Feeding Ports - while not an abject failure - was not the rousing bird-buffet success I had hoped for. YMMV

Needs modifications to stop bigger pests birds and does not stop squirrels.

It does not stop the squirrels and the bigger birds (grackles) are all over it and the seed dropped 3” in one morning. I read that the squirrels managed to unscrew the feeder from its mount. This could be a problem. I added a 2nd nut to the bottom to act as a lock nut to prevent this and I tied a piece of wire from the cage to the top hanger that screws on. The wire keeps it from unscrewing if a squirrel is giving it a work out. The squirrel would hang totally upside down and enjoy the feast. I have continued to do things to prevent the squirrel from getting to it. The grackles are my worse problem. The cage is too small, or close to the inner feeder. I had to tape up the bottom holes at its floor level and add a plug to prevent the seed from going down past the feeding holes. I put an aluminum tape flange all around so big birds had to struggle more to eat off the floor. Plugging the bottom holes at floor level helped as there was too much seed getting to the floor and accessible to the bigger birds, grackles. I put plastic coated wire across the openings directly opposite the feeding holes. Small birds can enter the cage and then feed from the floor or on the feeder mount. Big birds struggle to reach in but can only get some seed from the floor. The cage needs too many modifications for the $60 cad price but it can be made to work. The cage should be larger so big birds with long necks cannot reach in. Forget the lower holes at floor level and put a flange around at the bottom instead of my tape. squirells: I added a 4” duct around my 2x4 post to deter squirrels but eventually they figured that out. Then I added the carpet nailing strips which also helped and finally the cone shaped shield.

No more squirrel proof than an open bowl

From the squirrel on the feeder you will note totally useless as a deterrent. Nicely built and nice secure fill method but having bought is because is did say SQUIRREL PROOF NOT So $66 worth of squirrel feeder

No squirrels

[update] These pesky small orange squirrels have managed to climb down the feeder and hang upside down and eat the seeds. I’m going to buy the cone to see if it deters them. The birds are thoroughly enjoying the seeds and the cats are enjoying watching their TV. ????

The seed gushes out of the feeding holes, and goes every where.!

I bought a cage bird feeder to keep squirrels & nuisance birds out. Followed the filling instructions. Either one bottom feeder hole is missing something but, the seed pours out of the feeder holes as you are pouring it in. I have a kitchen full of bird seed. An absolute dud.. & I have a major clean up to tackle. Will you replace this, feeder, or send one of equal value, which will do the job properly.? Thank you.
