Why it may suit you
- Holds 5 lb of mixed seed and closes its ports under a squirrel’s weight.
- Squirrels: a weight-activated spring closes the ports when a squirrel or large bird lands.
- Holds 5 lb, so refills come less often.
- Kingsyard offers a limited lifetime warranty against defects.
Know before you buy
- The spring also closes under large birds, so jays and grackles may be shut out.
- Keep it away from footholds so a squirrel has to land on it to reach the seed.

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.
