Brome 1024 Squirrel Buster Plus Wild Bird Feeder with Cardinal Perch Ring

Very fast shipping. The feeder is extremely well made. Clear instructions for use and cleaning. The first chickadee landed on it less than five minutes after it was filled and hung. There is a steady stream of birds at it. Recommended.

This feeder is the best squirrel proof one I have had to date. I purchased a 16" hook that was recommended by Brome to use with the feeder. this proved to be good to hang high in our tree yet dangled down enough for us to view the birds. Making it difficult for a squirrel to access by the top. Then when he tried jumping onto it, it proved yet again to deter him as all the holes covered up. after a lot of tail flicking he gave up.As far as pigeons go, I haven't seen them even attempt to land on the feeder. I like the fact it holds 5lb of seed. Making re-filling less often. Although the birds seem to love this feeder much more than my other now and eat more than ever before. It is easy for them to land on and they seem happy being side by side. I like the clear tube as I can see when it needs refilling from the house. The fact it holds so much seed does make the feeder quite heavy, plus the fact because it is made of metal which adds to the weight. This is worth considering when hanging it up. I tried it on my bird station but it was so heavy it made the bird station lean to one side and I have mine anchored at the bottom too! Best option is hang in a tree or place on a wall bracket. This wouldn't put me off in the slightest. Its worth every penny and it looks really expensive and easy on the eye.

I have purchased this feeder about a week ago and I just love it. I'm back here to purchase 2 more. I live on 3 acres of wooded land and I have a ton of squirrels that have defeated every feeder I have ever tried. After a week they are still trying but they have not been able to beat this feeder! Easy to assemble, easy to fill and holds a lot of seed. After a week of heavy activity I still have 3/4 of the feeder still full. My woodpeckers are back and goldfinches which were a rarity are now a common site several times a day! I'm using the same high quality seed, but they just seem to like this feeder better. I thought they might be able to chew through the cylinder but so far so good. That this is covered for life makes it a worthwhile investment. I just wish I would have gotten one sooner...I would have saved a fortune in bird seed. I've never been cheap on my feeders...always getting the best of what I thought was available and this feeder is actually less expensive then the last one they destroyed so I feel it is well worth the money. I have yet to take it apart, clean it and put it back together...I only do that once a month. If I find any issues with that I will update and lower my stars. I plan I purchasing several more for holiday gifts. UPDATE: I've had the feeder for about 4 months now. The squirrels gave up after about a month and don't go near it anymore. I found that as long as I clean the feeders every month or so, the seed stays dry even though I don't keep the feeder in a covered area like an overhang. CLEANING: it's important to clean these feeders or else mold will accumulate by the feeding holes and can harm the birds. I found disassembling the unit very easy and although it can go in the dishwasher, it cleans so fast with hot water I just do it by hand. I know this next warning is wasted on the guys but I will say it anyway: GO TO THE YOU TUBE VIDEO on how to disassemble before you try to clean this or I promise you will regret it. Even though I had watched the video once I still forgot the trick about sticking your fingers in the feeding holes to release the tube for cleaning (when you see the video you'll understand). Once taken apart it is a snap to clean and very easy to put back together. Just go the the Brome site or do a youtube seach on “How to clean a Brome birdfeeder”. I can say I am more than happy with the money spent on this feeder, it was more than worth the price tag and I highly recommend it. UPDATE: well I've had the bird feeders for over a year now and they continue to work wonderfully. The squirrels have given up on them although occasionally they pop by to try to foil them but are unsuccessful. The birdfeeders remain in good working order and they are very easy to clean. These feeders are worth every penny I paid for them. UPDATE: OK, I don’t remember the year that I’ve purchased this but it’s been a long time. I’d have to say over five years… And I wanna say closer to 10, but I’m not sure. So after all of these years, the plastic cylinder that holds the seeds cracked. I called Brome and all they needed was my name and address and they sent me out replacement parts, including a couple of extras that I wasn’t sure about. All at no charge. This is why you spend the extra money for this feeder! UPDATE: OK so I just checked the date and I bought this feeder originally in 2016 so it’s nearly 10 years old as I thought. The parts came but I didn’t think they fit, so I called customer service. That woman stayed on the phone with me for over 20 minutes and walked me through what I was doing wrong until I had the entire feeder back together! This is why you pay the money for this feeder, 10 years old and she treated me like I had just bought it last week! It just doesn’t get any better! The second photo is of the feeder now nearly 10 years old with the new replacement parts.

Cher, mais justifié. Les pigeons ont renoncé et les mésanges et moineaux ont mis quelques mois à revenir, mais elle a maintenant un succès fou.

- Verarbeitung: Gut. Die Futterstation hält sicher lange. - Funktionsweise: Sobald ein größerer Vogel oder ein Eichhörnchen sich auf den Sitzring (oder auf die Sitzstangen, falls man den Ring nicht anbringt; ich empfehle aber den Ring) setzt, senkt sich der untere Teil der Futterstation und die Futterlöcher werden verschlossen. Große Vögel wie Eichelhäher oder eben auch Eichhörnchen suchen diese Futterstationen sehr schnell nicht mehr auf. Damit hat man die Möglichkeit, diese Vögel ggf. an einer anderen Stelle zu füttern und die "Kleinen" haben ihre Ruhe. - Schutz des Futters: Bislang habe ich mit Futtersäulen gearbeitet, an denen die Futterplätze übereinander angebracht waren. Als Regenschutz brachte ich eine Kuppel an. Trotzdem wurde das Futter bei Regen immer schnell schimmlig. Bei dieser Säule kann von oben her kein Wasser eindringen, ich wüsste nicht wie. Gleichzeitig sind die Futterlöcher unten eigentlich besser - als man das laut Abbildung denkt - vor Regen geschützt. - Reichweite des Futters: Meine Futterstellen sind gut besucht, da ich ganzjährig füttere. Trotzdem muss ich nur ein bis zwei Mal die Woche nachfüllen. - Reinigung: Man kann die Säule recht einfach auseinanderbauen, die Reinigung sollte damit sehr einfach sein. Sofern das irgendwann mal nötig sein wird. Bei der Art der Konstruktion sehe ich da so schnell keine Notwendigkeit.
