Choosing A Squirrel Buster Bird Feeder

While the function remains relatively the same across all models of these innovative bird feeders, there are some slight differences to take into account when shopping for a squirrel solution to your backyard.
These Canadian feeders are supported by an impressive list of exclusive patents that make them truly a unique addition to the massive bird watching market. We have been supporting this brand since the beginning and as a company, their reciprocal support is nothing short of amazing.
Getting to the point in which you have decided that you are in need of a specific feeder to keep squirrels at bay leaves you with a plethora of choices. Here is a quick guide we use to break each one down to help you along with the process!

I have the Squirrel Buster Plus with the weather dome. It was pricey but worth it! It's several years old and still busting those squirrels! It has paid for itself in seed savings. I have watched many squirrels try and FAIL to get the seed. The spring trap is adjustable weight as well. Chickadees, finches, sparrows, downy woodpeckers, cardinals all love it! The dome helps keep the ice pellets/rain/snow out of the feeding ports and give the birds protection from the elements while they eat.

Great product and company, thank you for sharing. 😊👍🇨🇦

[@Niteskylot3b]

will this prevent rats from getting the seed?

[@icouldjustscream]

@@Niteskylot3b If it's hung high enough, yes. The bottom of my feeder is 8 feet of the ground. You can add a regular baffle/dome over the entire feeder as well for extra protection.

Nice video...just got my feeder - unfortunately I did not know about your company or probably would have ordered it from you. I liked your humor and the fact your company has a mission statement. Great job.

[@gilligallou]

Thank you

Just ordered one of these today! LOOKS like it'll keep them varmints OUT! I just began bird feeding my Cardinals and found the small dishes I had put out for them emptied out; scattered bowls on the floor and noted some squirrels hanging around! Hopefully this gadget will do the trick and keep 'em OUT! Thanks for what looks like a GREAT INVENTION!!!!

[@gilligallou]

Awesome, they are all Available on our web site, gilligalloubird.com

A better invention yet...petroleum jelly on the upright! Problem solved for pennies and I haven't had a squirrel on my feeder in 25 yrs, no joke.

They are expensive but worth the money. They are quality product, durable, easy to fill and maintain. Brome service is fantastic. We have at least one of each and birds love them. The new Suet feeder is great.

[@gilligallou]

AF Morrow indeed, great company and product, we’re proud to service and sell them, , thanks 👌😊 Bob

Found my mini Squirrel Buster on the ground this morning. I suspect raccoons in the middle of the night. The raccoons figured out how to lift the extension rod green cover and unhook the feeder...either accidentally or on purpose. I guess I'll need to bring the feeder in at night. ☹

[@gilligallou]

Those racoon a shifty that’s for sure, I have zipped tied my standard to my hook before, makes it more difficult for them to get it off, but we can still slide it off the hook for filling . 😊 , Bob

[@WilliamSmith-lf1ov]

Thanks so much. I purchased a large buster on Face Book. I got a great deal, but it is worth the higher retail price.

[@bjnslc]

The recent arrival fox squirrels are now knocking off the wire perches from our Squirrel Buster feeders. Without perches, the feeders aren't any good for the birds even if the squirrels don't get the seeds. I have to call and order replacement perches, but they won't last half a day. Maybe I'll engineer some perches that bolt on. The wire bail ones were fine, but they're a total fail with fox squirrels.

[@gilligallou]

Talk with Brome about it, what model do you have? I’m sure there is a solution, keep me posted, happy to help, go to bromebirdcare.com for parts and contact information. Thanks, Bob

Love your video.🥰

[@gilligallou]

Thank yo very much, 😊

Can a Cardinal ring be put on a mini?

[@Calisto34]

It looks like only the bottom section below the weather dome moves down, whereas with your other squirrel busters the whole casing from top to bottom moves. Could a squirrel not climb down from the top, perch or in some way grip itself to that weather dome and get its head down into the feeding ports without needing to touch and thereby activate the bottom section? Also, since there is no metal casing around the plastic food tube above the weather dome like other squirrel busters have, could the squirrel not eventually bite its way through the plastic?

[@gilligallou]

morning, no not at all the shape of the feeder doesn't allow them to hang on and even if they did the food port would be closed. This is a very well engineered product, you can check them out on our website also, gilligalloubird.com , let me know if you have any other questions, thank you , Bob

[@gsc76]

I want to get the big one of these. Can blue jays eat if of it? I have some in my back yard and don’t want to leave them out.

[@gilligallou]

Binaural Tunes for sure, all birds love the Squirrel Buster Plus, if you go to gilligalloubird.com you can purchase one and we’ll ship it to you. 👌😎 thank you .

[@makeupaddict4197]

Which buster do you recommend to keep these pesty grackes out?

[@gilligallou]

Morning, I find the squirrel buster plus with the optional weather guard on it works the best, also the cage system we have on our site with tube feeder. gilligalloubird.com/collections/bird-feeders/products/squirrel-buster-plus-wild-bird-feeder?variant=29646436486

[@Kitchdmn3]

We like our Jays, but not Grackles.which size would you recommend?

[@SFBenjaminK]

I LOVE THOSE RED ONES ..we dont have them in California

[@rosedavis333]

Can the squirrels kick it and make the seeds drop out?

[@gilligallou]

Depends a lot on where you place it, keeping the distance over 18 “ away from the sides so they can’t reach it and pull it toward them. Once the they land on it the food port is closed off and nothing can get in or out. I find that most of the time people problems are placement of the feeder, not the feeder. Hope this helps 😊😎 , Bob

[@marisarodriguez7633]

Will it keep rats out?

[@gilligallou]

would keep them from getting food from the feeder likely, yes.
