Hanging Bird Seed Screen Feeder

I was hesitant to pay this much for a bird feeder, but since my previous feeders did not usually survive the squirrels and raccoons for an entire year, I decided to give it a try. This is the most durable feeder that I have ever tried. Squirrels can feed from it, but do not empty it in a day like they have others that I have tried. Raccoons have great difficulty in emptying the feeder unless they unscrew it so that it falls to the ground. I now have three of these feeders and did have difficulty with raccoons unscrewing it nightly until I lock washers to the nuts that hold the feeder together.

The large capacity is of unexpected benefit since I only have to fill them once a week. And I find that there resistance to squirrels and raccoons cuts my usage of sunflower seeds in half so that the feeders actually pay for themselves.

My wife and I are now at an age where we spend most of our time just sitting in the house and the bird feeders keep a variety of birds (as well as the squirrels) where we can watch them all day long.
