Supa Squirrel Proof Wild Bird Seed Feeder

Supa Squirrel Proof Wild Bird Seed Feeder — Spring-Loaded Squirrel & Bully Bird Proof Seed Feeder

The Supa Squirrel Proof Wild Bird Seed Feeder is designed to keep squirrels and larger bully birds at bay, so that small garden birds can feed undisturbed. Spring-loaded perches close the seed ports under the weight of squirrels or larger birds, while small birds can feed comfortably without triggering the mechanism. An anti-squirrel baffle provides additional protection. Dimensions: 45cm (H) x 18cm (W) x 18cm (D).

How to Use

Fill with wild bird seed mix or sunflower hearts by pressing the two spring-loaded lugs on the roof inward and lifting the lid. Hang in the garden away from trees, fences or structures that squirrels could jump from. Clean occasionally with warm water and mild disinfectant to prevent bacterial build-up. Always ensure birds have access to fresh water nearby.

Tips for Deterring Squirrels

• Position the feeder away from trees, fences and feeding stations that squirrels can jump from
• Use a tree hook to increase the distance between the feeder and its hanging point
• Provide a dedicated squirrel feeder to distract squirrels from bird feeders
• Add a dash of chilli powder to the seed — squirrels dislike it, birds are unaffected

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the spring-loaded mechanism work?
The perches are connected to a spring-loaded mechanism. When a squirrel or large bird lands on a perch, its weight compresses the spring and closes the seed ports, blocking access to the food. Smaller birds are light enough to feed without triggering the mechanism.

What seed can I use in this feeder?
This feeder is suitable for wild bird seed mixes and sunflower hearts. It holds approximately 1.6kg of seed or 1.4kg of sunflower hearts. It is not suitable for peanuts.

How do I clean this feeder?
Clean occasionally with warm water and a mild disinfectant. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely before refilling. Regular cleaning helps prevent bacterial build-up and reduces the risk of disease transmission between garden birds.
