“Although much larger than my last feeder, it only has 4 feeding areas. For it's size I feel at least 6 seed access areas should exist. Also it does not have a traditional perch at the feeding areas but rather a looped metal band.”
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate your comments about the feeder design and understand your thoughts on the number of feeding ports and perch style. The looped metal band is designed to accommodate a variety of bird sizes while maintaining the feeder’s squirrel-proof function. We’ll be sure to share your suggestions with the Brome team for future consideration.
“I almost died laughing watching the squirrels multiple unsuccessful attempts at getting into my stunning and resilient bird feeder. Watching the squirrels fail is almost as fun as watching all the gorgeous birds who use the feeder. Great contraption! Well done.”
“The first Squirrel Buster that I purchased ( about 20 years ago) at a friend’s recommendation lived its life confusing squirrels at my back yard tree, which was wonderful. This first Buster was becoming very well worn and I feared for its demise. I could not find its replacement of any nature in garden shops. My search was rewarded when I found the web site and learned the Squirrel Buster was still being manufactured. Yippee. New one arrived, and it is working its magic frustrating squirrels and rewarding birds. Thank you”
“Although this feeder appears to be well made, we are disappointed that the weight limit for the shroud allows large birds like crows and blackbirds to still get the birdseed- which is what we are trying to prevent. We wish the weight limit was adjustable, especially given how expensive this feeder is. In fairness, this is advertised as “squirrel-proof” not “pest bird proof,” but it did sound like it would work for pesky birds like blackbirds and crows but unfortunately it doesn’t.”
