Why it may suit you
- A compact squirrel-resistant tube, 1.3 lb and 13 in tall, with a spring you can set for heavier birds.
- Comes apart without tools for cleaning.
- Squirrels: a squirrel’s weight closes the shroud over the ports; the spring is adjustable.
- Brome offers a limited lifetime warranty against defects.
Know before you buy
- It needs 18 inches of clear space all round so a squirrel has to climb on to reach 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.
