Squirrel Proof Bird Feeders

As rewarding as it is watching a fantastic array of beautiful birds using your bird feeder, the biggest frustration of all is seeing a squirrel hanging upside-down, gobbling up all the bird feed and scaring all the birds away. If this sounds familiar, you definitely need a squirrel proof bird feeder. We have a selection of high quality bird feeders and bird feeding stations which are built to resist the sharp teeth of squirrels and make it impossible for them to penetrate.

As squirrels have sharp claws and teeth, they will easily chew and claw their way through most wooden and plastic bird feeders. We have stainless steel and aluminium bird feeders and bird feeding stations that can be positioned away from trees, which make it difficult to access in the first place. We also have steel cages with steel bars, these steel bars stop large birds and squirrels from getting to the food whilst allowing the much smaller birds to access the food without any problem. The beauty of this type of squirrel proof bird feeder is that you are effectively helping the natural wildlife that needs help, preserving the food for those which are naturally smaller or underweight and helping them flourish.

While the steel cages are fantastic deterrents for squirrels and other larger animals, we have a wide choice of other squirrel proof bird feeders which allows you to pick the perfect bird feeder for your garden. There is a wide choice of spherical and cube-shaped cages that protect the seeds or fat balls from the squirrels. This type of squirrel proof bird feeder has small gaps which are big enough for small birds to place their beaks through. There are also some inventive solutions such as flockers that have steel sliders which react to the weight of a squirrel or heavy bird and cover the seed as soon as a squirrel's body weight lands on top of it. There are also versions of this type of feeder which apply the same mechanism to steel mesh and other materials.

As you can see, we at Bird Feeders 4 Less have a wide collection of squirrel proof bird feeders which are perfect for any homeowner or keen gardener who wants to encourage the smaller birds into their garden. You can choose from a standard guardian seed feeder which has either a polypropylene or metal inner feeder which restricts access to small birds alone, or you can opt for one of our seed/nut fort seed feeders which, as the name suggests, has a fort-like appearance which only enables small birds to access the food and not the greedy, bushy tailed squirrels which are often seen dangling precariously from the edge of a bird feeder.
