The Squirrel Buster Plus keeps out squirrels and some nuisance birds by using an adjustable weight mechanism that closes access to the seed. Features seed tube ventilation to keep seed fresher, adjustable perches and attachable cardinal ring. Disassembles for cleaning, is chew and rust-proof, with a 3 quart seed capacity (~5.1 lbs) and Lifetime Care. It was voted BEST squirrel-proof bird feeder by Popular Science.

To make it truly squirrel-proof for adult red and gray squirrels (please note that juvenile red squirrels and chipmunks can sometimes access seed due to their light weight), observe the manufacturer's stated installation clearances, e.g. install the feeder with 18" of clearance between top of feeder and the branch it is hanging on, 18" of clearance from launching points below the feeder, and 18" radius of clearance around the sides of the feeder.

DISCLAIMER: This feeder will NOT deter Grackles, Starlings, juvenile Red/Douglas/Flying Squirrels, Chipmunks, Possums, Bears, Deer, or Raccoons. Please bring your feeder in at night to prevent night visitors from emptying and destroying your feeder.

Nature Niche Squirrel Buster Plus and Weatherproof Shield is a win!

Found feeder I needed for goldfinch, house finches, nuthatch, downy woodpecker, pine siskins, bluebird, cardinal, blue Jay. Wanted to stop grackles from arriving en masse in my backyard. Worked. Not coming anymore. This feeder has weight control, so larger birds like grackle and squirrels weigh down, perch goes down and separate tray inside goes up, closes and grackles and squirrels can’t get food. This has all bells and whistles. Easy to fill, to clean, holds 4 cups, not refill as often, a tight lid keep rain out, separate shield to keep rain from food and birds eating dry, air flow thru feeder ports and top to keep food fresh and dry, free from moisture build up, a ribbed plastic ring to attach to perch, so cardinals and similar size birds can easily perch facing food and in freezing weather not slip from perch. Get this first time and warranty available if need replacing, but so well built , I don’t think I’ll ever need to replace.

Excellent Feeder

So far I could not be happier with this feeder. It is brilliantly designed and constructed. Would highly recommend the Weather Guard be added as it protects both the feed ports from the elements, and the birds from being ambushed.
CONS: My only criticism is the size of the cardinal ring that I wish included an additional ring that is a half inch larger. If you are looking to attract birds larger than a cardinal this may not be the feeder for you.

Best feeder around

I had my feeder for over 20+ years finally a racoon or bear broke it to pieces. The metal pole was laying flat on the ground and the feeder was broken into pieces. But for it lasting this many years without any problems is a giant plus. I will definitely put the feeder in at night now.

it works

Good product. I have not gotten the cardinals to set on the ring yet. Hope it works for them.

The Cardinals love it!

I bought this because I was having a lot of wasted seed with the old feeders I had. I have this hanging on one of our parking lot light poles and really don't worry about the squirrels. There's no way they can get up that street light. The old feeders had plastic port restrictors that the birds finally chewed up to the point the seed was pouring out. I also bought the Squirrel Buster Classic and have it hanging on the same pole. I have a ton of Cardinals and they took to the feeders within a day. Well made and easy to fill and clean.

Fantastic

Exactly what I was looking for. The birds are able to continue feeding long after their platform feed is gone early in the morning & if the winter weather is too treacherous for me to walk the deck they still have plenty of feed. I love it!!

DEEEELIGHTED!!! Totally mystified those squirrels!!!

The squirrels must be thinking....I can see the seed......why is it I cannot get the seed from this feeder???? Heck with this, I am outta here!!!

Absolutely Perfect

Very well built feeder and the squirrels have completely failed in breaking in. The steel and glass construction should last many years. Very impressive.

Love Squirrel Buster Plus!

This is my second one; I still have my first one. Just wanted another one. They're great feeders and worth every penny. Brome stands behind their products and have great instructional videos. They come apart very quickly and easily for cleaning; the first time was a little longer but the video is very helpful. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who has squirrels.

Squirrel buster review

We are enjoying watching the birds enjoying our Squirrel Buster Plus. The squirrels truly cannot get onto this feeder! Very good product.

Please check & tighten bottom screw

Regrettably, the screw on the bottom came loose and almost decapitated a house finch. Poor thing was found dead with its head stuck inside. Other than that incident I have had no problems. Definitely keeps the squirrels from dumping the whole feeder.

Thank you very much for the feedback, Kathy, and so sorry to hear about the house finch! Yes, it's important to tighten everything up during the first installation and keep checking and retightening with each refill, so all the parts function properly. If you continue to have an issue, please contact the customer care department of the manufacturer, Brome Bird Care, at 1-800-856-5685. They are great to work with under the feeder's lifetime warranty and will get you new parts, if needed.

Great sturdy bird feeder

This is a great bird feeder that is squirrel proof,
It is very sturdy and holds a lot of seed so you don’t have to refill every day. Very pleased with this purchase!

Can this feeder hang from a shepherds hook?

Nature Niche

Probably not and have full functionality. Most standard shepherds hooks only have a 12" reach, and the manufacturer for the squirrel buster product line recommends an 18" clearance be maintained above, below, and all around this feeder, if hanging rather than pole mounting (requires a 1" outer diameter pole and pole adapter). That 18" is a squirrel's body length, so they have to put their entire body weight on the feeder rather than cheat the system by hanging onto the shepherds hook and reaching into the ports without putting weight or full weight on the closing mechanism. We do carry an extended reach pole set that is designed to hold these weight-triggered feeders: https://nature-niche.com/products/three-arm-bird-feeder-pole-set?_pos=6&_sid=4f906c98d&_ss=r
Hope that helps!

How long does it take for new squirrel buster to bring our normal population back typically.

Nature Niche

Birds may take up to about a month to find and acclimate to a new feeder.

If you've had a squirrel buster longer than that with no to little activity, check the tension setting on the mechanism that closes the shroud and observe whether or not the ports remain open when birds land--that may need adjusting.

Also investigate the seed for signs of mold and think about how old it is and the source. Birds will avoid moldy and stale seed, and sometimes bird seed gets overdried during sterilization and processing. They will avoid in this instance, as well.
Hope that helps!
