Why it may suit you
- A squirrel-resistant feeder with a ring perch big enough for cardinals and drip edges that keep rain off the seed.
- Comes apart without tools for cleaning.
- Squirrels: a squirrel’s weight closes the shroud over the ports; not adjustable.
- Brome offers a limited lifetime warranty against defects.
Know before you buy
- The spring is not adjustable.
- Brome recommends no-mess blends or hulled sunflower for it.
- Brome says it will not deter grackles, starlings, juvenile red, Douglas or flying squirrels, chipmunks, possums, bears, deer or raccoons; bring it in at night where those visit.

Before it goes outside
Check the exact mount and any required adapters, the loaded weight, and whether you can safely reach the feeder for cleaning. Keep included parts visible on your shopping list so you do not buy them twice.
Keep the food dry, remove spoiled seed and debris, and choose a compartment you can clean thoroughly.
