So its promoted as such but in fact most peanut feeders of this kind use the same practical method for opening up the lid. Wildtier Herz: Large Metal Nut Feeder

The Brome Squirrel Buster Plus Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder is one of the most versatile bird feeders on the market, making it our top choice on our list. This feeder has weight-activated perches that will close the seed openings when a heavier pest like a squirrel or crow tries to land on it. In addition to having six perches around the bottom of this feeder, it also comes with a cardinal ring, which is designed to make feeding easier since they cannot turn their heads as easily as other birds. Emma Phelps is an associate editor for The Spruce who specializes in writing about home improvement, air quality, home decor, and appliances. Phelps has previously covered a number of gardening topics including the best gardening tools and the best gardening gloves. For this list, she researched a variety of bird feeder types before making final selections based on feeder durability and squirrel-proofing mechanisms. Surely in buying a RSPB certified or made by peanut feeder, you can be assured you are in good hangs right... well that's actually what you get. This feeding station comes with an auger and a twist rod to easily drive it into the ground before screwing on the pole extensions. We also love that this pole is relatively lightweight so it’s easy to set up alone, but we do wonder if it will stay upright during heavy winds or a major rainstorm. Thankfully, it's constructed from steel and has a weather-resistant powder coated for extra durability.Now you’re ready to hang it for all your fine feathered friends to enjoy! Let me know if you had any issues with this Acorn Bird Feeder Tutorial, I’d be happy to help clear up any confusion! Fold two of the facing sides inward and use your needle nose pliers to interconnect the open wire ends. Repeat with the other facing sides.

Cage Feeders: These are most often designed as suet feeders, which hold solid cakes of bird seed, rather than loose seed. Cage feeders are mostly effective against squirrels as they usually feature two layers of wiring to prevent squirrels from reaching the cakes at the center of the cage. Small songbirds and medium birds with long beaks can easily still reach the center for feeding. Our best suet feeder, the Kingsyard Squirrel-Proof Suet Feeder, is a great cage feeder option thanks to its wide diameter which helps prevent the suet from getting wet and ensures squirrels can’t reach the feed. Cage feeders are most often found with hanging mount options.

Not only is this large peanut bird feeder highly practical, but the charity has made sure its desirable to the user, so not just the wild birds. Then randomly, I had to go get garden watering supplies from an Ace Hardware store and what do you know? The perfect sized wire cloth! (1/4″ metal mesh to be exact) So finally, a year later, here’s the Acorn Bird Feeder tutorial for your viewing pleasure. I’m sure all your neighborhood birds will appreciate it this winter! Rather than replacing your entire set of birdhouses and feeders, you could always try a pole that keeps the squirrels away. This pole from Squirrel Stopper has four hooks so you can hang a mixture of birdhouses and feeders. The baffle moves up and down and sways side to side when squirrels land on it or climb on it so they really aren’t a match against the erratic motion. Insert the two ends of the rope in through the top of the bowl and tie a knot. Make sure the knot is large enough that it can’t be pulled out.

What you get out of this German-made peanut feeder is the classic mesh surround along with the impressive three perch rings. Lengthy one too so top up with many nuts as it can take, or use less to avoid waste - and I think the RSPB will agree with that. A squirrel-proof bird feeder provides nourishment for your feathered friends and keeps mischievous squirrels out of their food. Unlike standard bird feeders that have large wire mesh openings that allow squirrels to easily grab seeds, squirrel-proof bird feeders have mechanisms that activate when a squirrel lands on the bird perch or tray. You can find these bird feeders in a variety of styles, including hanging, platforms, and pole-mounted.

Observe Behaviour on the Peanut Feeder

Good size metal hoop for hanging too but don't be afraid to double up the length with use of a bird feeder hanger - made to extend too short hooks on feeders. Selections: Copper Style Large Nut Feeder Now a large peanut feeder doesn't have to be the simple long mesh metal type; so instead you can go for a feeder for peanuts that holds a larger capacity in a bulkier build.
