It’s weight-activated. When a squirrel climbs on, its weight pulls the outer shroud down and closes the feeding ports, so it can’t reach the food. Birds are too light to trigger it. It’s humane and doesn’t hurt squirrels.
Choose by food. The Classic, Plus, Mini and RSPB models take seed, Finch takes niger, Peanut is a steel-mesh peanut feeder, and Suet holds suet cakes.
Feed seed and peanuts from 1 November to 30 April. Only ever offer peanuts in a steel-mesh peanut feeder, never loose, so birds can’t carry whole nuts back to their chicks.
It comes apart for cleaning. Tip out old food, wash every part in hot soapy water or a bird-safe disinfectant, then rinse and let it dry before refilling. Weekly cleaning helps stop the spread of trichomonosis, a disease that passes quickly between finches at shared feeders.
Hang it so a squirrel can’t reach the feeder by jumping from a fence or branch, or the weight mechanism can be bypassed. Leave about 45cm all round.
