Supa Squirrel Proof Peanut Feeder

Provide smaller birds with a sense of security when feeding with this Supa peanut feeder. The surrounding large cage means adult squirrels and larger birds such as doves and pigeons can't access the peanuts inside the feeder, meaning the small birds can feed in peace. 

Manufactured from heavy duty steel, bite proof wire and powder coated in a black finish, this durable feeder will be loved by smaller birds. Easy to clean and fill, simply release the catch and lift the lid, then fill with tasty peanuts. Features a built-in handle to allow for easy hanging. 

Dimensions: 26cm (H) x 17cm (W) x 17.6cm (D) plus handle.

*A Note On Juvenile Squirrels and Juvenile large birds

The feeders can only protect against adult grey squirrels and large adult birds such as magpies, crows rooks etc. which ultimately do the most damage. Some birds, such as a woodpecker, won't fit through the bars but could manage to get their beaks inside and access the food.

There is always a chance than an adolescent young squirrel could squeeze into the bars and access the feeder.  The young squirrels look very similar to adults but are actually far fluffier making them much more flexible!  Squirrels are normally born in March, April, July and August so there may well be a risk around these months. This is short term issue and will be the problem of any feeder that has researched the necessary bar spacing required.  You may also find that adolescent jackdaws, crows and pigeons may find their way in. The bars on these feeders cannot be made smaller to protect from adolescent or red squirrels as this would pose a risk to the birds.

If squirrels do manage to get into the feeders to prevent damage to the plastic tubes a dash of chilli flakes mixed in with the nuts or seeds will have no effect on the birds at all but will deter the squirrels.
