The weekly refilling that seems to mainly feed the rodents in the garden. The ground under the feeder, strewn with seed husks and displaced songbirds. This squirrel-proof feeder solves that problem with a mechanical principle: if the visitor weighs too much, the feeding ports automatically close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes This Feeder Different\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight-Activated Protection Mechanism\u003c\/strong\u003e – The ring perch is connected to a spring. If a light bird lands on it, it stays up and the feeding ports remain open. If a squirrel or a larger dove sits on the perch, it lowers due to the weight and closes the openings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour Feeding Ports with Continuous Perch\u003c\/strong\u003e – Up to four small songbirds can feed simultaneously because the ports are arranged circularly around the tank. The continuous ring perch offers space all around for tits, finches, sparrows, and nuthatches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eClear Polycarbonate Tank\u003c\/strong\u003e – You can see the fill level at a glance through the window and immediately know when it needs refilling. No unscrewing to check.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eRobust Powder Coating Against Rust and Gnawing\u003c\/strong\u003e – The metal lid and base are powder-coated and resist both weathering and the teeth of frustrated squirrels, who chew through normal plastic in a short time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Capacity of Approximately 2.3 kg \/ 5 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e – One filling is enough for several days, so you don't have to refill every other day. Suitable for sunflower seeds, safflower, and mixed seed blends.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eTight Metal Lid to Prevent Access from Above\u003c\/strong\u003e – The tightly closing lid and the extended feed tube prevent squirrels or larger birds from getting to the seeds from above or the side.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemovable Lid for Easy Filling\u003c\/strong\u003e – The lid can be removed, and the wide filling hole allows refilling without spilling seeds. Cleaning is also made easy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions 14 × 14 × 31.8 cm \/ 5.5 × 5.5 × 12.5 in\u003c\/strong\u003e – Slim, tall design that takes up little space on a branch or hook and fits discreetly into the garden.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho It's Made For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor bird fans who want to feed songbirds in winter without losing all the seeds to squirrels. For garden owners in areas with high squirrel populations. For anyone who has given up on several regular feeders because they were repeatedly emptied or damaged. For amateur ornithologists who want to specifically observe small songbirds like tits, finches, sparrows, and nuthatches. For seniors who want to watch birds feeding from their living room window. And for everyone who wants to reduce weekly refilling and keep the garden cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHanging, Filling, Cleaning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHang the feeder on a sturdy branch, a swivel hook, or a wall bracket – ideally about 1.5 m \/ 5 ft from the ground and at least 2.5 m \/ 8 ft from trees, fences, or house roofs, so squirrels cannot jump directly onto it from the side. Before the first filling, remove the lid and fill the tank with sunflower seeds, safflower, or a mixed seed blend until it is full. Replace the lid firmly and check that the weight mechanism moves freely – the perch should move down with slight pressure and spring back up when released. Clean the feeder every few weeks to prevent mold and disease: empty the seeds, rinse the tank with warm soapy water, let it dry thoroughly before refilling. In wet weather, regularly check if the seeds inside remain dry. In snow and ice, free the mechanism from ice with lukewarm water if the perch sticks. After a long period of inactivity, check the swivel mechanism for smooth operation and, if necessary, carefully clean the connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor everyone who finally wants to give their garden back to the birds – without constantly refilling what the squirrels have emptied.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bolania","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51780186505432,"sku":"EIC-TITRE PAR DÉFAUT-K50Q79","price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/9221\/2440\/files\/image-2025-07-22T182348.335.jpg?v=1780540662","url":"https:\/\/bolania.de\/en\/products\/eichhornchen-sicherer-vogel-futterspender-mit-gewichts-mechanismus-4-futter-ports-metall-und-polycarbonat-zum-aufhangen","provider":"Bolania","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
