Squirrel-proof protection that keeps seed available for your favorite songbirds Enjoy watching chickadees, finches, nuthatches, titmice, and other small songbirds feed while reducing visits from gray squirrels and many larger birds. Our bestselling 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. Unlike feeders with a solid bottom tray, this design features an open-grid base that allows loose seed and hulls to fall through instead of collecting on a tray. This helps reduce seed buildup inside the cage and removes one of the food sources that can attract squirrels and larger birds. While some loose seed beneath the feeder is normal, the open-grid design helps keep the feeding area cleaner over time. Six feeding ports provide plenty of room for multiple birds to dine at once inside the protective fly-through cage. An overhanging roof shields seed from rain and snow to reduce spoilage, while integrated squirrel-locking discs help keep the roof securely in place. The feeder fills easily from the top without disassembly and includes a 5-1/2 inch metal hanging cable. Measures 10-1/2 × 15-1/2 inches tall and holds up to 1-1/2 lbs. of seed. 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. Fly-through cage provides smaller songbirds with comfortable, protected access to seed. Open-grid bottom allows loose seed and hulls to fall away instead of collecting inside the feeder. Six feeding ports let multiple birds feed at the same time. Overhanging roof helps keep seed drier and fresher in changing weather. Squirrel-locking roof stays securely in place while remaining easy to refill from the top. Top-fill design requires no disassembly for routine refilling. Holds up to 1-1/2 lbs. of seed for fewer refills. Durable construction built for season-long backyard feeding. Available exclusively at Duncraft. Choosing the right squirrel-proof feeder for your yard This feeder is an excellent choice for birders who want to reduce squirrel activity while providing a protected feeding space for smaller songbirds. The open-grid bottom is intentionally designed to let loose seed and hulls fall away instead of collecting on a tray attached to the feeder, helping reduce buildup inside the cage. If you'd prefer a feeder with the ability to catch fallen seed or provide birds with a resting platform, consider our Metal Selective Feeder, which is equipped with a seed tray on the bottom.
