Squirrel-Proof Tube Feeder with Perch Ring

Add a truly squirrel‑proof centerpiece to your bird garden with the Squirrel Buster Plus. This advanced, weight‑sensitive feeder stops squirrels and larger seed hogs in their tracks, while letting your favorite songbirds feed in peace.

Key features

• Genuine squirrel‑proof technology
  A smart spring‑loaded shroud responds to weight: when a squirrel or heavy bird lands on the perches or cardinal ring, the shroud drops down and closes the seed ports. Smaller birds are light enough that the ports stay open and seed flows freely.

• Adjustable weight settings
  Inside the seed tube, a simple adjustable cartridge lets you fine‑tune how much weight closes the feeder. Turn it clockwise to allow slightly heavier birds, or counterclockwise to shut out more species and focus on smaller songbirds. A handy weight chart is included to help you match settings to common birds and squirrels.

• Large capacity with 6 feeding ports
  Holds up to 3 quarts (about 4.5 lbs) of seed and offers six feeding stations, so multiple birds can dine at once. Perfect for black oil sunflower, safflower, cracked corn, or high‑quality seed blends.

• Customizable perches and cardinal ring
  Shorten the individual perches to favor smaller birds, or extend them to welcome larger species like woodpeckers and grosbeaks. Attach the included cardinal ring to give cardinals a comfortable, natural‑feeling platform to feed from.

• Comfortable, secure footing
  Perches and the cardinal ring feature posi‑grip texture, giving birds a secure surface to cling to while they feed—especially helpful during quick landings and takeoffs.

• Seed ventilation for fresher food
  A built‑in ventilation system circulates air through the seed reservoir, helping keep seed dry and fresh longer instead of turning stale or moldy in the tube.

• Secure, easy‑to‑clean design
  The locking cap keeps squirrels from lifting the lid to access seed from the top. When it’s time to clean, the feeder disassembles without tools so you can give everything a thorough scrub. A sturdy metal hanging cable at the top makes placement simple.

• Built to last
  Durable metal and high‑quality plastic construction are made for years of outdoor use, backed by a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer.
