Best Squirrel Proof Bird Feeders

The Squirrel Buster Standard Wild Bird Feeder with four metal perches comes with a hanger and has excellent customer ratings. We agree. The design of this feeder is sturdy and has an ingenious system of shutting off the supply to birdseed if an animal the weight of a squirrel does manage to get onto the feeder (this includes large birds such as hawks, too).

This feeder is dishwasher safe for sanitization. It’s also UV-resistant, waterproof, and chew proof with trademarked material squirrels cannot chomp through. Overall, we found this to work fantastic, and with a capacity of 1.3 pounds of seed, it offers plenty of room for birdseed.

Perky-Pet (model number 102) Squirrel Resistant Easy Feeder is excellent in its simple yet effective design. This feeder’s tall, cylindrical-shaped birdseed reservoir is caged in a red metal barrier. This barricade not only presents a comfortable perch for many birds but also guards the feeder against any squirrel damage and helps thwart rodents from getting to any of the 12 seed ports.

We love this feeder for the transparent birdseed reservoir which makes it easy to check the seed levels with a glance. Bonus: the clear cylinder lifts out of the metal cage barrier for easy re-filling and cleaning whenever needed. We found this to be a simple yet effective design with a classic look.

We adore the design of the Perky-Pet (model number 339) Squirrel Be Gone II Feeder Home with Chimney. The home design construction is both classic and cozy, yet trendy with the rustic chic style of this little “house” and its tin-look roof. Highly-rated and weighted to shut off seed supply if a squirrel jumps on, this feeder is perfect for those looking for a large capacity bird feeder.

When you consider how many pounds of seed this feeder can hold (up to eight full pounds) the price is also very reasonable. It’s easy to monitor the seed levels through the cute windows and clear “door” of the house, and the large capacity makes refilling this birdfeeder a job that needs to be done far less often. Made of metal construction and the roof is removable for filling and cleaning.

The Stokes Select Squirrel-X Squirrel Proof Suet Bird Feeder comes in an attractive natural brown color. The design of this feeder is appealing to many bird varieties, and it features four ports to provide sufficient feeding areas for the birds. The opening mechanism of this suet feeder is constructed to deter squirrels from intruding and is guarded with a metal cage. Yet it’s simple for bird enthusiasts to fill and clean the interior.

The entirely open-air construction of this caged feeder allows you to see feed levels and prevents mold growth on suet cakes. As with all bird feeders, for maximum squirrel deterrence, hang them with a clearance of at least 18 inches from both the top and any sides of trees or hooks squirrels can climb.
