Know before you buy
The feeder features an internal spring mechanism that you can adjust based on the weight of the birds you want to attract. When a squirrel or a heavier bird lands on the perch, the weight triggers the shroud to slide down, effectively closing off the six seed ports.
Yes, the feeder includes a cardinal ring that attaches to the base, providing a more comfortable landing area for cardinals. You can also adjust the individual perches to accommodate their preferred feeding style.
The feeder is designed with a built-in seed ventilation system. This allows air to circulate through the reservoir, which helps keep your birdseed dry and fresh for longer periods.
Yes, the Audubon Green Branch Hook is made of durable steel, specifically engineered to support the weight of the feeder when it is filled to its 4.5-pound capacity.
The Brome Squirrel Buster Plus comes with a lifetime manufacturer's warranty. If you experience issues with the feeder's functionality, you are covered by the manufacturer's support policy.
Refill frequency depends on your local bird activity, but the 3-quart capacity is generous enough to hold 4.5 pounds of seed. This size reduces the need for daily maintenance compared to smaller, standard feeders.
