“I bought a Brome Squirrel Buster feeder when I realized, in visiting a long-time friend, that I was seeing the same bird feeder in her yard year after year with never a squirrel - but lot of birds - on it. So far I'm having the same result, squirrels don't even try. I've had other feeders drained and then destroyed by squirrels. It has to be taken apart to fill it (it can't be opened while still hanging) but that's a small problem, once lifted down it is opened easily and seed can be poured in from the top. I highly recommend the Brome Squirrel Buster Squirrel-proof Bird Feeders, in whatever size works for your yard.”
