Hopper

Weight-Activated | Decorative | Pole Mount | Caged | Accessories

Squirrel proof bird feeders and squirrel resistant bird feeders both offer a defense mechanism that acts to deter squirrels from feasting on the seed.

Weight-Activated Squirrel Proof Feeders

Some squirrel proof bird feeders, such as our Squirrel-Be-Gone series, uses a weight-sensitive mechanism that shuts off access to seed ports when it detects the heavy weight of a squirrel, but remains open under the lighter weight of birds.

Decorative Squirrel Proof Feeders

Just because a bird feeder has squirrel proof attributes doesn't mean it can't be decorative! We offer several beautiful, decorative squirrel proof feeders.

Pole Mount Squirrel Proof Feeders

It can be easier to prevent squirrels from reaching a bird feeder if the feeder is mounted on a pole rather than hanging it from a tree. Devices such as squirrel baffles can help prevent squirrels from reaching a pole mounted bird feeder.

Caged Squirrel Proof Feeders

Other squirrel proof bird feeders consist of a simple tube feeder surrounded by a metal, chew-proof cage. The birds are able to enter the feeders cage to eat, but the squirrels cannot. Caged feeders also offer protection from some of the larger, more aggressive birds such as Blue Jays.

Squirrel-Proof Feeder Accessories

With our squirrel baffles and animal repellents, you can enhance your efforts to keep squirrels from raiding your feeders.

Squirrels are clever at devising ways to get into bird feeders and depleting the bird food. With our squirrel proof bird feeders or squirrel resistant bird feeders, you can outsmart these little critters!
