With cheerful songs and gentle grace, birds enrich the natural environment of most every yard. While plants, flowers, and bird feeders provide food for our feathered friends, the small birds often must compete with more aggressive, larger birds and critters such as squirrels to find adequate nourishment. Heritage Farms caters to these petite birds with this squirrel-proof bird feeder.

Thoughtfully designed, the bird feeder's main body is crafted with hardy powder-coated steel to resist battering and weather damage. An attractive hardwood perch provides a sitting place for small finches, orioles and other birds while dining. To allow seed to flow unhindered into feeding ports, Heritage Farms installed a sloped seed hopper and a seed baffle. The feeder holds up to 2-1/2 gallons of birdseed. See-through polycarbonate windows let owners monitor the birdseed levels. A clever counterweight system closes the feeding ports when it senses the mass of larger birds or squirrels, leaving these greedy creatures to seek food elsewhere to help keep squirrels and other pesky critters out of the bird feeder. The counterweight also helps conserve seed for more economical distribution. A heavy-duty steel pole accompanies the feeder for mounting upright. Heritage Farms also provides a hanging hook for users who prefer to hang the feeder from a tree branch. For the best results, hang the bird feeder near trees and bushes rather than in the open where birds feel vulnerable to predators. Users should regularly clean the feeder with equal parts water and white vinegar to protect the birds from bacteria and disease. Avoid use chemicals on the bird feeder. Birdseed is not included with the feeder. Heritage Farms offers limited five-year warranty for this item. The feeder weighs 13 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

I made sure to place it away from trees and platforms from which squirrels can jump from. I placed it near a small apple tree with branches that droop from too much weight. I have two gray squirrels and two red squirrels. I saw one gray squirrel put two feet on the feeding bar and the other two f...
Customer Review: way too expensive
I gave my dad an amazon gift certificate for father's day...he bought this bird feeder, paying extra because he wanted the squirrel proof guarantee - what an incredible rip off. The same thing is found in so many local stores at a third of the price!!! It is small, though it is squirrel proof, it is... Click Here For More Info...
