Squirrel proof bird feeders may not be 100% effective at stopping squirrels, but they come close. If you have wild bird feeders in your yard, chances are you have battled squirrels. The selection of squirrel proof feeders has grown dramatically in recent years both in numbers and sophistication.

We carry a large selection of squirrel proof feeders from the low-tech caged feeders and baffle-style squirrel proof feeders to the newest high tech, weight triggered, motorized squirrel proof feeders.

Caged bird feeders use wire to stop squirrels from reaching the bird seed. Baffle feeder combos are designed to keep squirrels away by using large domes or tubes that squirrels can't jump over or climb around.

Weight-sensitive squirrel proof feeders are spring activated. When a squirrel climbs onto the feeder their weight closes off access to the bird seed. Once the squirrel leaves, the feeding ports open up again.

We also carry several models of high tech, motorized squirrel proof feeders like the very popular Yankee Flipper Squirrel Proof bird feeder from Droll Yankees. They use the squirrel's weight to trigger a battery-powered motor to flip the feeder's perch and send the thieving squirrel flying (very fun to watch).

Since no squirrel proof feeder is 100% guaranteed to keep squirrels away, proper feeder placement will increase your chances for success. Squirrels have the ability to jump about seven feet, so when possible place your feeders at least eight feet from any jumping surface including fences, cars, your house, tree branches, the ground, etc.

We know that watching squirrels devour your bird seed can be very frustrating, that is why we have chosen the most consistently reliable squirrel proof bird feeders. We know that they will give you the best chance to reclaim your bird feeding station for your backyard birds.
