Weight-Sensing Squirrel-Proof Seed Feeder

Field-tested on Sciurus carolinensis — eastern gray squirrel

A spring-loaded shroud drops over the ports when anything heavier than a cardinal lands — no batteries, no harm, just an empty-handed squirrel.

Field tip: Hang 5 ft up and at least 7 ft from anything a squirrel can leap from.

Field notes on this piece

The outer sleeve rides on a tuned steel spring. Chickadees, finches and cardinals don’t move it; a squirrel, grackle or pigeon pushes it down and every port closes. Two tension settings let you decide whether jays and doves get a turn.

It holds three pounds of black-oil sunflower or a blend, enough for most yards to go four or five days in winter between fillings. The cap locks with a twist so raccoons can’t lift it off.

What sets it apart

  • No batteries or electronics
  • Locking cap foils raccoons
  • Seed tray drains rain
  • Lifetime squirrel-damage warranty
