Why it may suit you
- Two defenses in one feeder where squirrels raid: a cage, and a shield that drops over the ports under a squirrel’s weight.
- Comes apart without tools for cleaning.
- Squirrels: a weight-sensitive seed shield collapses under a squirrel to block the ports; the feeder sits inside a metal cage.
Know before you buy
- Nature’s Way does not give the size of the cage openings, so check that the birds you want can get in.
- Nature’s Way gives no hanging clearance; a weight-closing shield only works if a squirrel has to put its weight on the feeder.

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.
