Birdscapes 735 The Preserve Wild Bird Feeder

 (15 customer reviews)

It's been up in the garden for 1 week and I haven't seen any squirrels attempting to 'break the code' on this bird feeder!

The last "squirrel proof" one we had purchased was finally assaulted from hanging up side down to circumvent the doors to the birdseed from closing shut from his weight....sagacious little creature,

The only drawback is that the larger birds cannot get inside to sit on the perches where the seed is stored, but we are mainly attracting the small finches and they love the feeder! And some seed falls to the bottom where the larger birds can get at it.

It's definitely a 'better mouse-trap' in the squirrel fighting battle of the bird feeders!

I feel compelled to write my first review cuz this item should have at least 4 stars.
I'm back buying my second.
This is easily the most attractive of all the feeders I've seen so far and I'd like to address the two negative reviews.
I've had this feeder for over a year now and we have a ton of grey squirrels but none have ever figured out how to get seed from it. When it is shaken, the seed mostly drops in the tray. That said....the population of red tree squirrels is increasing recently and they are able to climb right through the caging. They sit inside and will even let me walk up to the feeder at times. I don't have a problem with these small squirrel, it's the greys that are destructive. And lastly another review mentioned plastic hanger......it's actually metal wire with a plastic coating.
Buy it......you'll love it.

this bird feeder maybe squirrel proof if you mount it on a pole but if you hang it from a tree the squirrel just jumps onit and shakes it till the seed falls out on the ground also its not large bird proof they hang on the side of the cage and just flick the seed out onto the ground until its empty then they eat it off the ground with the squirrels
