Proud recipient of the 2025 WBFI Birding Product of the Year The next evolution in the world-famous Squirrel Buster® collection has arrived. Designed to be easy to maintain, easy to fill, and easy to love, the Squirrel Buster® Evolution delivers advanced squirrel-proof protection with thoughtful new features that make it one of the most efficient and user-friendly bird feeders available. Key Features 🐦 Truly Squirrel Proof™ TechnologySmart weight-activated system closes access to feeding ports when a squirrel climbs on the feeder—without harming animals.

Bird-Friendly Design Double-Cardinal Ring (New Feature)Accommodates a wider range of bird sizes, making the feeder more inclusive for different species. No Mess, No Waste® FeedingBest used with no-mess seed blends or hulled sunflower seeds for optimal performance and cleanliness. Specifications Capacity: 1.3 qt / 1.2 L / 1.9 lbs / 0.85 kg Dimensions: 165 mm × 165 mm × 483 mm Weight: 0.91 kg Materials: Metal & UV-resistant plastic SKU: 1134-V03 (Non-adjustable) Placement Guidelines Hang the feeder in a location where you can enjoy close-up bird watching—trees, decks, fences, garden areas, or near windows. Important:Maintain at least 18 inches (47 cm) of clearance around the feeder. This ensures squirrels must climb onto it, activating the weight-sensitive closing mechanism. Nearby footholds may allow squirrels to bypass the system if clearance is insufficient.
