“My mnother had one of these for many years. We lived in wooded yard full of squirrels. It was so funny to watch them try every concievable method to get into this feeder. Once they managed to climb the pole it hung from and reach over to grab seeds from it, or pull it to dump the seeds out and collect them on the ground. I used to greae the pole with cooking oil and watch them try to climb only to slide down. As long as the pole is angled so that the feeder hangs far away from it, they cannot get the seeds. They will climb on the feeder and get frustrated and give up. Woodpeckers love this feeder, as well as all the smaller birds. Cardinals and Blue Jays, too!
This feeder is well made and withstands a lot of abuse.”
Hi Catheriner,
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful review! We love hearing about the creative ways squirrels try to outsmart our feeders. It sounds like your family had plenty of entertainment watching them give it their best effort!
We’re especially happy to hear that the feeder has held up so well over the years and that it attracts such a great variety of birds, from woodpeckers and cardinals to blue jays and smaller songbirds. Thank you for choosing our feeder and for sharing your experience with us!

“It works great! We have lots of squirrels in our yard every day and they will definitely drain my bird feeders. This feeder works amazingly well. Easy to clean. Great instructions. Well designed. Definitely recommend this product. And I tried A Lot of different feeders.”

“The Brome Squirrel Buster was a gift for my daughter. Every bird feeder she had purchased was torn apart by squirrels. This Bird Feeder is strong and the birds are loving their ability to eat in privacy.”
Hi Diana,
What a thoughtful gift! We love hearing that the Brome Squirrel Buster is finally giving your daughter — and her birds — some peace of mind. After battling those persistent squirrels, she deserved a feeder that could hold its own! Thank you so much for sharing this — it truly warms our hearts.
Kind regards,

“We're enjoying our new feeder, which hangs from a pole on our back deck. It very quickly attracted a variety of small birds. We also regularly feed some neighborhood crows, and I was concerned they would take the seed, but so far none have bothered it, even though they come to the deck. Haven't seen any squirrels try it yet. I find the top easy to remove, but it is a little awkward to fill as it's quite tall - setting it on the floor and using a wide mouth funnel helps.”
Hi Renee,
We’re so glad to hear you’re enjoying your new feeder!
It’s wonderful that it attracted a variety of small birds so quickly, that’s always exciting to see. We also appreciate you mentioning the crows; it’s great to know they’ve left the feeder alone while still visiting your deck. And fingers crossed the squirrels continue to keep their distance!
We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughtful insights, and we hope you continue to enjoy many more bird visits!
Kind Regards,

Hi David,
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the feeder. Regarding the hanging wire, you might try one of these options:
Loop or tie the wire to shorten the hanging length.
Use an S-hook or chain extender between the feeder and Shepherd’s hook to adjust the height.
If your Shepherd’s hook is adjustable, raising it slightly can also help.
We hope one of these solutions works so your feeder hangs at the perfect height!
Happy New Year

“I never thought I could get rid of the squirrels. I had another squirrel proof feeder for years and the squirrels always managed to “wear out the charge”. These feeders ARE squirrel proof. I bought a second because I love them so much. I love my birds!!!”
Hi Gail,
Wow, we’re so glad to hear that our feeders are living up to their promise! It’s great to know the squirrels are finally staying away and that your birds are happy. Buying a second one is the highest compliment—thank you for your support, and we hope you continue enjoying all those feathered visitors! 🐦💛
Happy Holidays
