Why it may suit you
- Holds 4.5 lb, and its adjustable perches shut the seed trays under a squirrel’s weight.
- Squirrels: two weight-sensitive perches, adjustable, close off the seed trays.
Know before you buy
- Set the perch weight with care: too light and it shuts out cardinals too.
- Keep it away from footholds so a squirrel has to land on the perch.

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.
