Birds Choice Squirrel Proof Classic Feeder w/Pole and Baffle

The Birds Choice Squirrel Proof Classic Feeder with Pole and Baffle is a robust and reliable solution designed to keep squirrels at bay while providing ample feeding opportunities for birds. Featuring a large seed reservoir crafted from UV-resistant polycarbonate, this feeder holds approximately 5 pounds of seed, accommodating a variety of bird species. The original squirrel-proof design includes a green baked enamel-coated steel baffle and top that prevent squirrels from reaching the seed while ensuring long-lasting durability. The polycarbonate tube measures 6 inches in diameter by 12 inches in length and includes four aluminum seed ports with perches for bird access. A metering ring distributes seed evenly to the ports, with optimal feeding maintained at a seed level of 3-4 inches. The feeder includes three 24-inch steel pole sections, which combine to a total height of 5 feet 8 inches when assembled. Installation involves pounding the pole into the ground using a rubber mallet or hammer with a wood block, ensuring stability. This classic feeder has been field-tested for over 30 years, combining squirrel deterrence with practical, user-friendly design for a lasting backyard feeding experience. Dimensions are 6"W x 12"L for the tube, 23"H including the baffle, and total pole height of 5' 8".
