Squirrel-proof protection with a built-in seed tray to reduce waste Enjoy watching chickadees, finches, nuthatches, titmice, and other small songbirds feed while reducing visits from gray squirrels and many larger birds. Our Metal Selective Feeder surrounds the seed tube with a durable wire mesh cage that allows smaller birds to feed comfortably while limiting access by gray squirrels and larger species. This model includes a sturdy metal seed tray that catches dropped seed before it reaches the ground. The tray helps reduce waste, provides birds with an additional place to perch while feeding, and features drainage holes to help shed rainwater. Six feeding ports provide plenty of room for multiple birds to feed inside the protective fly-through cage, while the clear seed tube makes it easy to monitor seed levels. A large 10-1/2 inch all-metal roof helps shield seed from rain and snow, reducing spoilage and the need for frequent refills. Integrated squirrel-locking discs help keep the roof securely in place. The feeder fills easily from the top without disassembly and features durable powder-coated metal construction with a clear plastic seed tube. Measures 15-1/2 inches tall, holds up to 1-1/2 pounds of seed, and is available exclusively at Duncraft. Why songbirds (and birders) love it Protective wire mesh cage helps discourage gray squirrels and limits access for many larger birds. Built-in metal seed tray catches dropped seed to help reduce waste beneath the feeder. Drainage holes in the tray help prevent standing water after rain. Tray provides an additional resting and feeding platform for smaller birds. Six feeding ports allow multiple birds to feed at the same time. Large 10½-inch all-metal roof helps keep seed drier and fresher in changing weather. Clear seed tube makes it easy to monitor seed levels at a glance. Squirrel-locking roof stays securely in place while remaining easy to refill from the top. Holds up to 1½ pounds of seed for fewer refills. Durable powder-coated metal construction built for years of backyard bird feeding. Available exclusively at Duncraft. Choosing the right squirrel-proof feeder for your yard This feeder is an excellent choice if you'd like to catch spilled seed before it reaches the ground or provide birds with an extra feeding platform. The built-in tray helps reduce seed waste around the feeder, but because it catches seed, it should be emptied occasionally—especially after prolonged rainy weather—to keep seed fresh and maintain healthy feeding conditions. If you'd rather allow loose seed and hulls to fall through instead of collecting on a tray, consider our Selective Feeder with an open-grid bottom. Its trayless design minimizes seed buildup and may require less maintenance for birders who don't mind a little seed beneath the feeder.
