Description
Velleora Home Decor's Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder is built for the gardener who has watched a grey squirrel empty a week of sunflower hearts in an afternoon. A weight-activated mechanism closes the feeding ports when something heavier than a bird lands on the perch ring, and opens them again the moment it leaves.
Nothing about it harms the squirrel - it simply finds no food and moves on. The tube is metal rather than plastic, so it cannot be gnawed through at the ports, which is how most feeders eventually fail. A metal cap keeps rain off the seed, the tube unscrews for cleaning, and a clear window shows the level so you know when to refill without lifting it down.
Fill it with sunflower hearts, mixed seed or peanut granules. Hang it well away from a fence, a branch or a wall - a squirrel that can jump onto the top of the feeder will get around any mechanism. Empty and scrub it every week or two, more often in wet weather, and never let old damp seed sit in the base.

The seed stays for the birds
A weight activated mechanism closes the feeding ports the moment something heavier than a bird lands on the perch ring, and opens them again as soon as it leaves. Nothing is harmed. The squirrel simply finds no food and moves on.
Metal where it matters
The tube and ports are metal rather than plastic, so they cannot be chewed through. That is how most feeders eventually fail, and Velleora Home Decor designed this one around the problem.
See the level, refill on time
A clear window shows the seed level without lifting the feeder down, and a metal cap keeps rain off what is inside.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the squirrel proofing work?
The perch ring is weight activated. Bird weight leaves the ports open, anything heavier closes them. There are no traps and nothing that could injure an animal.
What seed can I use?
Sunflower hearts, mixed seed or peanut granules all work well through the ports.
Where should I hang it?
Well away from a fence, a branch or a wall. A squirrel that can jump onto the top of the feeder will get around any mechanism, so clearance matters more than anything else.
How do I clean it?
The tube unscrews fully, so you can scrub it out every week or two, more often in wet weather. Never let old damp seed sit in the base.
Does the seed stay dry?
A metal cap sits over the tube and sheds rain away from the ports, which keeps the seed loose and usable for longer.
