The Squirrel Buster Bird Feeder

£39.99

The Squirrel Buster Bird Feeder is a squirrel proof bird feeder that stops squirrels from feasting on your bird food before the birds get a chance. The durable Squirrel Buster is weight-activated meaning small birds will be able to feed easily, and larger birds and squirrels will cause the feeding ports to close, denying access to the food. 

Easy to fill, clean and adjust, the Squirrel Buster Bird Feeder is a great choice for anyone looking to feed the small birds in their garden, whether you’re a first time bird feeder or have been welcoming wildlife to your garden for years. The clever ventilation within the Squirrel Buster helps keep bird food fresh for longer.

Wildlife lovers want to welcome all wildlife to the garden, however we understand how frustrating it can be when smaller birds like blue tis and robins don’t get a chance to enjoy the food that is put out for them. The Squirrel Buster is a way to ensure small birds are able to feed without other species taking it from them, making it the perfect squirrel proof bird feeder available. 

The Squirrel Buster Bird Feeder comes with a lifetime guarantee from the manufacturer and is robust and hardwearing. With over 4 million Squirrel Busters sold worldwide, there is no question that they are a popular choice.

Features of the Squirrel Buster Bird Feeder:

  • Allows small birds to have a feeder of their own
  • Squirrel proof bird feeder
  • Adjustable weight activated mechanism keeps squirrels away
  • Chew proof metal mesh enclosure and hanger
  • Manufacturer's lifetime guarantee (register online)
  • Manufacturer's Forever New careline
  • No tools required for set up

  • Ventilation system keeps food fresh for longer

TOP TIP

In order to work, the Squirrel Buster feeder should be positioned with 18" (47cm) clearance on all sides (above, below and to the sides) to prevent squirrels from reaching across. You can also adjust the tension using the spring to make the mechanism more or less sensitive. The spring tension can be affected by extreme weather so may need adjustment.

Great Service ! !

The beauty of dealing with a smaller business, is they focus on a personalised customer service experience. That is exactly what you get when you deal with “A Little Bird Co”…. I will have no hesitation in buying from them again in the near future.
Kind regards

Great company, bird feeder less so

The squirrels and crows took a day to realise if they stayed on the tree not the feeder they could lean across and gobble the food, so sadly it wasn’t quite what I was hoping for. Alittlebird company however were a great company to deal with.

Thank you so much for your kind words about my small business! That's a pain that the squirrels have found a way to scoop out the food. Just to check, did you hang the feeder with 18' of clearance on all sides so he can't put his weight elsewhere and eat the food? That's generally the magic distance to prevent the mechanism from staying open :)

Squirrel Proof

Having a few families of squirrels nearby I only use the Squirrel Buster Feeder. They do a great job. Not absolutely 100% because the clever squirrels know that if they hit the feeder a few sunflower hearts will be thrown out. A small price to pay for the 99% protection.

I'm so pleased to hear it's working well! That's great news.

They’ve gone

I waited a while before commenting, at first the squirrels found all sorts of ways to hang upside down to get the nuts without triggering the closure mechanism . However they clearly got frustrated and I haven’t seen a squirrel for 3-4 weeks now. Someone else must be making it easier for them! I do have endless little birds enjoying their superior food though.

I’m really pleased to hear it’s working so well! That’s fantastic! Thank you for the lovely review!

Squirrel Buster almost has Parakeets fooled!

…I realise it is not called a Parakeet buster, but the weight adjustment has allowed me to initially keep Parakeets from monopolising at least one of our bird feeders, but the battle continues...

Thank you for your honest review! I hope we can save some food from the parakeets!

Squirrel Buster Really Does Work

We live in West London and love seeing the small birds that visit our garden and have a range of feeders. However, we also suffer from a large population of grey squirrels which manage to get into the feeders via fair means and foul!!

I saw The Little Bird Company at Chelsea Flower Show for the first time thgis year and had a long conversation with a very helpful person and decided to buy the Squirrel Buster feeder. It was delivered about 10 days later, in perfect condition, very nicely packaged. We put the feeder up and yes, it does stop the squirrels getting the food - what a very clever design it is. However, we also suffer from Parakeets who were able tyo get in. However, my husband has now adjusted the tension to the lowest level and we think it is also Parakeet proof. We are still waiting to make sure but hopefully you will soon be able to say Squirrel and Parakeet Proof. Many thanks, Rosanna

Thank you so much for the lovely review! I'm so pleased to hear that the Squirrel Buster is proving to be parakeet and squirrel proof and that the little birds in your garden are getting a chance to eat!

A little bird co are fantastic!

Clare is wonderful and so knowledgeable and helpful. I have now met her twice at the Chelsea Flower Show and she is warm and approachable and knows her products and helping birds/ wildlife so well. She kept me updated on my order when I pestered her too- brilliant service!

The Squirrel buster bird feeder is the only feeder to have in my opinion- not only does it stop the squirrels pinching bird food (I don't mind feeding them separately!), it is very well made and looks nice in the garden. Fully recommend.

What kind words - thank you so much for supporting my small business and for your lovely compliments! Brilliant to hear that the Squirrel Buster is such a huge success in your garden too!
