- Honest reviewThe catch, not just the hype
Why this gift works
Anyone who feeds birds knows the squirrel problem. Brome's Squirrel Buster Plus uses a spring-loaded shroud: when a squirrel climbs on, its weight pulls the shroud down and closes all six feeding ports, then it springs back open for the birds. Brome says the spring tension adjusts how much weight the shroud supports.
It holds 5.1 lb of seed, has a cardinal ring so larger perching birds can feed, and vents the seed tube to keep seed fresh. Every part squirrels can reach is chew-proof, and it comes apart by hand for cleaning.
Who is this gift for?
Great for
- A backyard birder losing seed to squirrels every day
- Someone who feeds a big crowd of birds
Think twice if
- They only have a small balcony
- Squirrels aren't a problem where they live
The catch
It is big and expensive for a feeder - 28 inches tall and holding over 5 lb of seed - and mounting it on a pole needs an adapter sold separately.
Skip for someone with a small balcony, or who has no squirrel problem to solve.
