The Nuttery ORGD03 Original Seed Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder, Ocean Green

Product Information

Perches may also be adjustable in size. If you want to attract only small birds, make the perches narrow so that only small bird feet can grip there. Larger birds wobble off of these perches and give up in disgust. The Squirrel Buster Standard Squirrel-proof Bird Feeder is just one of a series of similar models of bird feeders. This model deters both squirrels and pigeons as well as other garden pests by using weight-sensitive perches. A feature that is very useful is the shape of the roof of this feeder. It’s carefully designed to act as a rain guard and stop water from getting into the feed portals. Wet seed tends to all clog together and is difficult for the birds to eat and for you to clean out. Keeping it dry is a big time-saver for everyone. Pros 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. 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.

Pros This bird feeder is a long cylinder made of green metal mesh with small grid openings. The seed capacity of this feeder is just 0.5kg and you refill the feeder by unscrewing the lid and pouring the seed in. This is a feeder designed for birdseed, either a single variety or a mix. Assembly of the feeder is super easy and you don’t need any tools.Finished in a lovely ocean green colour, this starling proof feeder can hold peanuts to attract an array of small birds including: finches, blue tits and great tits to your garden.

A different method of preventing pigeons (and squirrels) from hogging the food is to stop them from being able to sit on the feeder. Weight-sensitive perches achieve this goal. Many bird feeders have perches around the outside for the birds to sit on. If squirrels do manage to get into the feeders to prevent damage to the plastic tubes a a dash of chilli flakes mixed in with the nuts or seeds will have no effect on the birds at all but will deter the squirrels. While this ground bird feeder does keep our large birds and other pests, smaller ones such as mice and small squirrels can easily make their way through the gaps and saunter up to the feed tray. Pros This feeder can be fully dismantled for a thorough clean by simply unscrewing the base, taking out the inner tube and then easily removing the perches to ensure every part of this bird seed feeder is well cleaned to keep it hygienic and safe for garden birds to feed from.

This wild bird nut feeder has been built to last from high quality metal, and can be easily filled by lifting the feeders lid, or cleaned by simply dismantling this Nuttery feeder - which is easy to do thanks to the feeders wide base - and reassembling again once all clean and safe to use again. Large birds (and squirrels) are kept away from the food as they can’t get through the relatively small gaps in the grid. And if they hang from the outside of the grid, the feed tube is too far away for them to reach.

There is also a version of this bird feeder that is designed to hold peanut pieces instead of seed and one that holds suet balls. You can put out the type of food that each species of bird prefers. Pros Spherical, powder-coated steel bird feeder with grid holes large enough to let small birds through. Once inside, the birds can access the food through one of four portals into the inner feed tube. The feed tube is made of clear plastic so you can tell when it needs to be refilled. A perch sits beneath each portal for the birds to sit on in comfort while they consume their meal. Large birds that can’t get in can hang on the outer structure and watch. However, the feed tube portals are too far away for them to reach the seed.

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. 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. The Nuttery Original Compact Ocean Green Squirrel Proof Nut Feeder has a clever design with a squirrel proof metal cage surrounding the feeder, allowing small garden birds to feed in peace whilst greedy squirrels and larger wild birds such as pigeons and crows are kept out.A useful feature of this Nuttery feeder is that it has a solid floor. Any seed spilled by the birds will fall on this and not on the ground outside where it would attract the larger birds. Long cylindrical bird feeder with clear UV-stable plastic tube and two feeding stations at the bottom. The Selections Ground Bird Feeder Haven Cage looks different from the other bird feeders in this review but it works the same way. This Selections bird feeder is basically a metal cage in a half-dome shape that sits on the ground. The cage has bars going down it that are spaced closely so that large birds, including pigeons, can’t get through the gaps.
