Choose it if…

A roomy seed feeder with adjustable weight-based closing for a spot with 18 inches of clearance from footholds.

Before you choose it

  • Skip it if you cannot keep at least 18 inches clear around the feeder.
  • Pole installation needs the separate Plus adapter and a pole no larger than one inch outside diameter.
  • Choose a broader wildlife barrier if the target is a nuisance bird, larger animal or squirrel species the closing mechanism does not cover.

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.
