Squirrel Proof Wild Bird Feeder - Roamwild PestOff (Mixed Seed/Sunflower Heart Feeder)

Product Information

With its polished cast aluminium cage, this sturdy fat ball feeder will keep squirrels and large birds at bay, allowing small songbirds to enter and dine. Unlike some smaller versions, at approximately 24 centimetres wide, this cage gives small birds the space they need while keeping starlings at bay. Measuring 31 centimetres high, it can accommodate up to four standard suet balls, so you shouldn’t have to refill it too frequently.

I've tried various schemes and feeders to keep my very determined gang from achieving their goal, and while I have had some success they tend to find a way. Eventually they resort to the "body-slam" method which can jar things loose. I tried the "squirrel-proof" one with the wire cage around it and the metal leaves, but a big gray ripped off one of the metal leaves within days and the rest of it was getting mauled. It was only a matter of time, so I returned the pieces and got this one. Wondering which is the best squirrel proof bird feeder in the UK for your garden? Here’s how to choose. Type of Food Ensure that cats, pesky squirrels, larger birds and other animals cannot climb or land on nearby branches and foliage. Tall plants with delicate branches and stems work best.

Pest off wild bird feeder

WEATHER PROOF – KEEPS SEED DRY & FRESH – The PestOff bird feeder has a built in weather guard to keep the seed fresh and dry to prevent seed clogging. Seed clogging is a common problem with other weight activated bird feeders that have no seed protection. This attractive and durable squirrel proof bird feeding station features a transparent perspex seed tube complete with chew-proof polished die-cast aluminium fittings. This feature will stop squirrels from destroying your feeder by chewing the perches, lid or ports and emptying the entire contents. On the face of it, this sounds great. A simple mechanism that can stop pests from getting to the birdseed…but does it work? We’ll discuss our ‘field test’ findings later. Before that, let’s take a look at what else the RoamWild PestOff bird feeder has to offer. 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.

Other types of bird feeders may come with squirrel-proof baffles to prevent squirrels from getting to your bird food. A baffle for a bird feeder is essentially an obstacle that either prevents squirrels from climbing up the pole to access your feeder or stops them from climbing down or jumping onto your feeder. NO SETTINGS TO ADJUST - AUTOMATICALLY PEST PROOF - The PestOff bird feeder has INDIVIDUALLY spring loaded perches that never need adjusting, it is ready to go straight out of the box. This also prevents the feeding ports closing when too many birds try to feed from the feeder at the same time, a common problem with single mechanism weight responsive squirrel proof feeders. You should also consider how weatherproof your feeder will be. Seeds and other types of bird food will need to be kept clean and dry, hence why most feeders feature a built-in rain guard and a plastic reservoir for seeds. If your bird feeder has a seed tray or solid base, you should look out for models with small drain holes that will prevent rainwater from gathering. Conclusion Perhaps the most simple but also highly effective, large squirrel proof bird feeders with cages provide a durable and consistent solution. An external cage surrounds an internal feeder at a sufficient distance to prevent squirrels from reaching inside and helping themselves to your bird food.The first word that springs to mind when handling the feeder is ‘sturdy’. It just feels robust, solid, and like it will be durable. As we mentioned above, we prefer an all-metal design as metal is certainly more pest-proof than plastic, so this feeder definitely scores highly in his regard. Given its construction, it is more weighty than a plastic bird feeder of a similar size, but it’s not so heavy as to cause issues, i.e. being too heavy to hang up, get into position etc. There are several different types of squirrel proof bird feeders on the market. Before you choose a new one for your garden, make sure that you look at all of the different types available.
