Product Description
The Squirrel Bustertm is truly squirrel proof! Here's how it works. Openings in the shroud (bottom section of the feeder) align with seed ports and provide birds access to the seed. When a squirrel climbs onto the feeder, its weight automatically forces the shroud down and closes the seed ports. Squirrels and large birds are foiled but not harmed in any way. Dishwasher safe! High water temperatures and powerful dish detergents clean and sanitize every bit of your feeder. Clean feeders are as important to wild birds as clean dishes are to humans. Wild bird safety is deadly serious business. Spread the word about safe feeders. Adjustable Posi-Grip perch! Squirrel Bustertm Plus perches are adjustable in length and lock into place. Thick perches and textured surfaces provide a secure and comfortable grip for birds. Perches can be shortened to attract small birds such as chickadees and finches while deterring larger birds such as grackles and starlings. Perches can also be extended just enough to attract medium sized birds such as grosbeaks and woodpeckers. Ventilated! Transparent bird feeder seed tubes are like greenhouses, they trap solar energy. The air in Squirrel Bustertm Plus rises and escapes through unique waterproof vents at the top of the feeder. The escaping heated air is replaced by fresh air entering the bottom of the tube through the seed ports. The birdseed remains fresher and attracts more birds. Damp and decaying seed decreases bird traffic and can spread disease. Squirrel Bustertm Plus with Removable Cardinal Ring This optional posi-grip ring system has been specifically designed to attract cardinals. These perennial favorites have two very distinct features: small necks and big feet. They prefer gripping a thick-textured perch and facing their food source directly. Cardinals dislike turning their heads to feed. The Squirrel Bustertm Plus Cardinal Ring perch system allows them to eat facing the seed while providing a secure and comfortable perch. These

 Don't let the high price scare you... May 15, 2006

My issue isn't squirrels, it's starlings and grackles. They'll empty a feeder in a day or two and keep the 'desired' birds from feeding. This feeder thwarts these pest birds better than any other feeder or feeder cage that I've tried. The smaller birds have no trouble getting to the seed and we've even had a pair of cardinals feed for the first time in the three years we've been feeding. I'm thoroughly satisfied so far with this item and am buying one for my father and one for my sister. Highly recommended.
----Update----
It does indeed deter squirrels as well, I watched one try again and again to acess this feeder to no avail. However, the local starlings have learned to grasp the cardinal ring and flap enough to partially open the feed ports (clever little buggers). The cardinal ring will be removed to eliminate that issue. The versitility of this feeder is wonderful.

This feeder is the best I've had, and I have had a bunch. It has a huge capacity so you don't have to fill it very often. It is almost impossible for squirrels to stand on and if they manage to get a foothold their weight closes the feeding ports so they can't get anything. You can adjust it to exclude large birds such as starlings and grackles. When it needs to be cleaned you just put it in the dishwasher. When an especially crafty squirrel tried to chew it's way in to my feeder I informed Brome about the damage and they sent me a replacement part for free! Squirrel busters have a lifetime warranty against squirrel damage. I have had mine for about 3 years and couldn't be happier with it. If you only have one bird feeder in your life this should be the one.
The best feeder! January 8, 2006

This is the second Squirrel Buster feeder I've bought. I've had the first one for over five years and am replacing an old feeder (not a Squirrel Buster). This feeder is the best feeder made to discourage squirrels from emptying seed. Our area is loaded with squirrels and they have tried everything to get to the seed in the feeder, with no luck. One time they did damage the feeding ports in an attempt to get at the sunflower seeds and when I contacted the company, they sent me a new part at no charge. Another time these darned squirrels actually chewed on the metal lid and again, the company sent me a new part. I would not hesitate to recommend this feeder to anyone, especially if you are bothered by raiding squirrels. The feeder is well made and holds quite a bit of seed (I use sunflower seeds in it)and is very easy to clean. It is well worth the cost. The customer service I've received from this company is absolutely top-notch.

have owned for 2 months and all of the previous reviews are what we have experienced also.
definitely worth the premium price. i have lost at least 6 feeders through the years to squirrels.
the spring tension for the amount of weight of birds that closes off the feed holes is adjusted by simply turning the clear plastic tube/rod inside the tank.... and now it's just right. i originally rated it 4 stars because i couldn't find my manual and the bigger birds couldn't feed, please consider it a 5 star item!
go ahead, make the plunge!

This feeder closes the feed-holes after only 4 oz. of weight is put on it. Considering the smallest finch weighs 1 oz. and there are 5 perches to feed from, this feeder should stay open for at least 5 oz. A cardinal weighs 3 oz, so if 1 finch and 1 cardinal try to feed at the same time, the holes close. I think the feeder should stay open for 7 or 8 oz. to let smaller birds feed freely and still deter heavier bids like pigeons that weigh 9 oz.
