Why it may suit you
- Clinging birds feed through an outer grid squirrels cannot reach through; no springs or batteries.
- Squirrels: an outer wire grid keeps squirrels from reaching the seed mesh.
Know before you buy
- The grid also keeps out cardinals and other big birds.
- Hang it where a squirrel cannot sit on the lid; the lid locks, but the grid is the only barrier.

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.
