Brome Squirrel Buster Nut Bird Feeder with Weight-Adjustable Squirrel-Proof Ports

Brome Squirrel Buster Nut is a wild bird feeder designed to give birds access to food while a weight-triggered shroud closes the feeding ports when a squirrel climbs on.

• Two mesh sizes — let you experiment with different foods to attract a wider variety of birds.
• Shelled peanuts, suet nuggets and dried fruit — offer feeding options that do not leave food mess on the ground.
• Weight-adjustable spring mechanism — lets you set how much weight the shroud supports before closing access to the ports.
• Squirrels and some large birds are deterred without harm — helps protect the food while keeping the feeder’s mechanism non-injurious.
• Less food stolen by squirrels — helps reduce wasted bird food over time.

This feeder is made for people who want to offer wild birds high-energy foods without making that food easy for squirrels to reach. Its shroud responds to weight rather than relying on a fixed barrier: birds can feed through the ports, while added weight from a squirrel activates the closing action. The adjustable mechanism also gives you control over the amount of weight the shroud will support.

How does the Squirrel Buster Nut keep squirrels from reaching the food?

Openings in the shroud line up with the feeding ports so birds can reach the food. When a squirrel climbs onto the feeder, its weight pushes the shroud down and closes access to those ports. The patented spring mechanism is weight adjustable, so the support threshold can be adjusted for birds to feed while additional weight triggers closure.

• The shroud closes access to the feeding ports when activated.
• Squirrels and some large birds are foiled without being harmed.

What food can I put in the feeder?

Recommended foods are shelled nuts and dried fruit; shelled peanuts and suet nuggets are also identified as options that do not leave a mess on the ground. Two mesh sizes allow experimentation with different types of food, helping you explore what may attract a wider variety of birds.

• Try shelled peanuts, other shelled nuts, suet nuggets or dried fruit.
• The feeder is intended for food choices that keep fallen-food mess down.

How can it help reduce wasted bird food?

By closing the feeding ports when a squirrel’s weight activates the shroud, the feeder helps prevent squirrels from taking the food. Keeping more of the bird food available for birds can reduce food lost to squirrel feeding over time.

• Its squirrel-deterring action is designed to protect the food in the feeder.
• Reduced squirrel access can add up to food savings over time.

The Brome Squirrel Buster Nut suits bird enthusiasts who want to offer shelled nuts, dried fruit or suet nuggets and experiment with different foods for visiting birds. Its weight-responsive shroud and two mesh sizes make it a fit for bird feeding where limiting squirrel access and ground mess matters.
