Description

The Gardman A01820 Heavy Duty Squirrel Proof Seed Bird Feeder has a clear plastic feed tube in the centre of a cylindrical polished aluminium grid structure. The aluminium is weatherproof and won’t rust. Birds access the feed by hopping through the gaps in the outer structure and sitting on the perches outside the feed portals in the feeder tube. Seed Feeders – Most popular due to the variety of seeds you can get to fill them. More seeds equals wider species birds. They come in a variety of designs from tubular stations to hopper type. Seed feeders can be hung from a fence, branch, or mounted on a post.

Place a wire cage around the feeder. This will prevent squirrels getting in, and has the added bonus of stopping big, bullying birds like pigeons from eating all the seeds. The feeding tube of the Gardman Heavy Duty Squirrel Proof Bird Seed Feeder is made of a hard wearing polycarbonate that lasts for years in all weathers under normal use. Once you have started to feed the birds it is important to continue this, and develop a routine, as the birds will become reliant upon your helpKeep it at least 10 feet away from trees, roofs, porches and other places a squirrel can launch itself from, as they are excellent jumpers and will leap to reach food. And if those juicy suet treats are causing a squirrel stir, then opt for a squirrel proof fat ball feeder so your wild birds can get their beaks on all that energy-boosting tastiness, hassle-free. At the top of the domed lid is a metal pipe through which the hanging mechanism goes. Neither large birds nor squirrels have much to nibble on and destroy there. As its name says, this bird feeder is intended for seeds for birds. You fill the tube up by removing the lid on the top of the unit and then just pouring the seeds into the tube. With four perches and the same number of portals, a group of birds can enjoy their meal at the same time. Birds waiting for their turn can sit inside the outer grid on the metal rods that make up the floor.

The feeder itself should stay fairly clean, but it is worth bringing it in every now and again and washing the whole thing with warm soapy water. If you want to feed your garden birds and not the local squirrels, the Gardman Squirrel Proof Seed Feeder is for you! Hang your feeder on a wire, with things like empty plastic bottles, short lengths of hose pipe or empty spools of thread. These will make it very difficult for the squirrel to run across the wire and access the seed. Tired of squirrels raiding your bird feeder every day? How about using a bird feeder that is both effective and aesthetic too? The Jacobi Jayne Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder lets birds fed freely while denying access to squirrels by way of a simple weight mechanism. Once a squirrel gets on, its weight automatically shuts off all feeder ports. This Nuttery Helix model also comes in aubergine (purple), plus both models come with an awesome ten-year guarantee. ProsBonnington Plastics Ltd remains one of the largest gardening products manufacturer in the UK. With over 40 years experience, it’s little wonder that they’re a well known household name. When it comes to bird feeders, one of their models is renown for one thing and one thing only – feeding as many birds as possible for as low a cost as possible.

Similar models from the same manufacturer are all highly reviewed. The Squirrel Buster Nut Feeder, Two Meshes has two chambers with different meshes for different seeds, nuts and fruit, the Squirrel Buster Classic Bird Feeder has a longer feeding chamber, six perches and holds 1.1kg of seeds, etc and for those with hungry bird visitors, the Squirrel Buster Legacy Bird Feeder is a larger version of our reviewed model that holds 1.2kg of bird feed. Pros The Roamwild Pestoff Squirrel-Proof Wild Bird Feeder, 1.5L of birdseed, is a sleek clear plastic tube with a green plastic top and base. It keeps pigeons and squirrels away by using weight-sensitive perches to close the gates to the feed openings when something heavy sits on them. The gate opens when the pigeon flies away in disgust.

If weight-sensitive perches are used, there’s no need for a separate feed tube in the bird feeder and the feeder itself can be just one tube, perhaps of clear plastic.

If the perches are spring-loaded, they are triggered by the heavier weight of a large bird. This causes the door over the food portal to close, cutting off access to the seeds and nuts. Once the weight is removed (i.e. the bird flies away), the door opens again and the feed is available once more. Jacobi Jayne incorporated chew proof materials to make sure that some of these toothy rodents don’t gnaw through. The material is also rust proof, waterproof and UV stabilized so it doesn’t lose its colour overtime. But it’s not all business; the patented seed tube is thoroughly ventilated to keep the air flowing and seed fresh. As a bonus, the feeder easily adjusts so you can also keep out larger birds like crows and pigeons. What I like about it: All prices shown below are per parcel with a maximum weight of 30 kg per parcel. Items over 30 kg are split into multiple boxes and charged per box. Squirrel proof feeders can also be used to keep larger birds stealing all the food, if you want to make sure your small bird favourites also get their fair share.

Seed feeders: A hanging seed feeder can attract a range of small birds including sparrows, tits and finches. These can come in a variety of sizes and are typically made of plastic or metal. Squirrel proof feeders come in three types; Spring Loaded Feeders, Caged Feeders and add-ons for your existing feeder, such as the excellent Squirrel Baffle. For All Your Garden Needs Whether you choose a hanging squirrel-proof feeder or one on a pole, we have something for everyone. Our squirrel proof bird feeders are strong and durable enough to keep those little paws out and for maximum protection, take a look at the Squirrel Buster products, which are guaranteed to keep the critters out. Of course, if you feel sorry for the little furballs, you can always leave a little food out for them too.
