From the manufacturer
Wild Bird Cage Fat Ball Feeder.
- Wild Bird Cage Fat Ball Feeder (Pack of 1) is designed to deter Squirrels and also larger birds such as Pigeons and Doves from eating Fat Balls.
- The robust powder coated steel frame will certainly be a challenge to the most determined of predators.
- Provides Smaller Birds with a sense of security while feeding.
- The feeder is filled via Flip Top Lid.
Hints & Tips:
Additional ways to deter Squirrels from feeding from your wild bird feeders are:
Ensure that the Squirrel cannot access the feeder by jumping on to it from nearby trees or climbing up a feeding station etc.
That as an extra deterrent to the Squirrels getting onto a feeder a tree hook is used as this will increase the distance between the feeder and the hanging point. It may be worth covering the tree hook in Vaseline as a preventive measure.
Provide a Squirrel Feeder for the Squirrels as this may encourage them to feed from their own specific feeder and leave the wild bird feeder alone.
Also, the RSPB suggest mixing in with bird seed chilli powder as Squirrels do not like the taste of this product while bird do not mind it.

Really good quality and the design gives the small birds a chance and keeps the fat greedy pigeons at bay!

The birds won’t use it? I have other caged feeders, seeds, peanuts etc which are regularly used but in the months that I have had this fatball feeder not a ball has been pecked?! Perhaps I will have to remove my other open type fatball feeder? I am only trying to save the little blokes from the neighbourhood sparowhawk.

I’ve had so called squirrel proof feeders before and they proved no match for Yorkshire squirrels. This one however is great and the squirrels have finally given up leaving the birds to enjoy their food in peace.
