Bird Feeder ( Squirrel Proof,Metal Mesh for Outdoors Hanging) -Finch C

This appears to be a Perky-Pet Squirrel-Be-Gone bird feeder, designed to keep squirrels from accessing the bird seed while still allowing birds to feed. Here's a breakdown of its features and how it works: Key Features: Squirrel-Resistant Design: The feeder employs a weight-activated perch mechanism. When a squirrel tries to access the seed, its weight triggers the ports to close, preventing access. Adjustable Springs: The springs can be calibrated to accommodate different bird sizes and deter nuisance birds as well as squirrels. Durable Construction: Made with all-metal construction, often with a rust-resistant powder-coated finish for longevity. Multiple Feeding Ports: Typically features multiple U-shaped perches that allow several birds to feed simultaneously. Easy to Fill and Clean: Removable roofs and large openings make filling and cleaning the feeder easy. Seed Capacity: Varies, with some models holding up to 8 lbs of seed. Seed Types: Suitable for various seeds like black oil sunflower, mixed seed, hulled sunflower, or safflower. How it Works: 1. Weight-Activated Perch: The feeder has perches calibrated to support the weight of birds but not squirrels. 2. Closing Ports: When a squirrel tries to access the seed, its weight triggers the ports to close, blocking access. 3. Spring Adjustment: Springs can be adjusted to make the feeder more or less sensitive to weight. Additional Information: Placement: Ideally, feeders should be placed 5 feet off the ground, 7 feet away from structures, and with at least 9 feet of clearance above. Cleaning: Clean the feeder every two weeks with mild soap and water or diluted vinegar. Seed Monitoring: The clear reservoir makes it easy to monitor seed levels. This type of feeder is designed to help bird enthusiasts enjoy watching birds without squirrels stealing all the seed.
