TRULY SQUIRREL-PROOF FEEDERS BUILT TO LAST!
Disposable products are no longer an option. All of our products are designed with our planet in mind: all parts are easily replaceable. The future of new products, manufacturing and the preservation of our planet must be linked to a vision of products made to last.
HOW IT WORKS
Openings in the shroud align with the feeding ports, providing birds access to the food. When a squirrel climbs onto the feeder, its weight automatically forces the shroud down, closing access to the ports. Squirrels and some large birds are foiled but not harmed in any way.
FEATURES
REMOVABLE PERCHES
The Squirrel Buster Finch can be converted into a clinging feeder only, by removing the perches. The absence of perches will help deter large nuisance birds from using the feeder.
FOR BOTH PERCHING AND CLINGING BIRDS
The seed ports have perches for perching birds and the wire shroud provides a surface area for clinging birds. This increases your bird traffic.
The Squirrel Buster Finch has 8 seed ports: 4 with perches and 4 without.
NEGATIVE GRIP TUBE
The Negative Grip Tube prevents squirrels from grabbing the hanger with their hind legs, hanging down alongside the feeder and defeating the closing mechanism.
CLEANING YOUR FEEDER
Frequency of cleaning varies according to climate.
Heavy bird traffic can increase the frequency of cleaning
Washing by Hand. Wear Gloves!
Dismantle and discard any accumulation of wild bird food.
Wash by hand in warm soapy water and/or in 1/10 bleach solution.
Make sure all components are completely dry before assembling.
Remember it’s a squirrel’s weight that triggers the closing mechanism. If a squirrel can reach over from a nearby foothold and avoid placing his weight on the feeder, he can access the birdseed. To overcome this problem, allow for at least 18 in/47 cm of clearance around the feeder. This will force the squirrel to climb onto the feeder and trigger the closing mechanism.
BROME CARE
Should you need a part covered under our Brome Care, we will happily provide it to extend the life of our products.
NO TOOLS REQUIRED
All our bird feeders are designed to be dismantled by hand into individual components without the use of tools. This allows for easy cleaning and maintenance.
SEED VENTILATION
Our patented Seed Tube Ventilation permits humidity and hot air to escape through vents at the top of the feeder and replaces it with fresh air. Bird food remains fresher, attracting more wild birds.
BIRDS THAT ENJOY NYJER SEED
ABOUT NYJER SEED
Nyjer is an oily tasty seed that, unfortunately, dries out too fast in hot dry conditions or goes bad when exposed to moisture. When buying Nyjer, check that its color is still shiny and black. Brownish and dull-looking seeds are no longer fresh, and birds won’t touch them. Purchase only enough to last you no more than several weeks.
