Brome Squirrel Buster Mini Bird Feeder 1055 Squirrel Proof

I'm glad these Brome bird feeders aren't as big as their full-sized cousins. I have a really small backyard, so I didn't have room for an avian hotel. This little feeder is just the right size, and it's just as good about keeping squirrels out as the bigger models.

I have bought three of these, they work good, the squirrels just seem to forget about them and dont bother, the only problem I have had is during the winter when it's snows and sleet's the snow weight will close them, and if the shaft freezes it wont close, or open if it froze when it's shut. not a big problem more of an observation of what can occur

This is a great small bird feeder that does a fairly good job at deterring squirrels, although it's not squirrel proof - something that more or less is a pipe dream.The feeder is the right size for your smaller birds, specially finches. We've had lots of gold finches, chickdees, etc. The larger birds, especially the Blue Jay, don't bother with the feeder.We've even had cardinals at this one, although it may be a bit compact for the larger ones.In design, it's nice. It is small, so it doesn't hold as much feed as maybe we would like, but what it does hold ends up primarily in the tummies of the birds, instead of the squirrels.The crook of the rod that holds the feeder upright has rusted a bit, and I wasn't pleased about that, but it hasn't impacted the performance of the feeder, and I think it would take a very, very long time to rust through. There is no visible rust on the outside of the feeder.Squirrels are thwarted, for the most part; however, they are successful at knocking seed out by shaking the feeder. Ours is hung in a way that doesn't allow for the upside down scoop and stuff method, but they have tried. We've got one little guy who tries to reach it from the ground and he just cant quite get to it. I imagine if he could, he'd knock it around a bit and go after the spill.I find the price to be a bit high, but this is a quality feeder that will last a long time and won't be chewed through.

Bought one for a friend as mine are still going strong!

Not as large as I thought. Works well although I'm disappointed to see that the sparrows don't really like it and would rather eat of the ground. They were using the metal hopper feeder I had before but junked when I found a sparrow had become trapped inside and died on a hot day. Cardinals think it's just fine and also saw a tufted titmouse and black-capped chickadee which I hadn't seen since last winter. So far the squirrels have not figured it out but I bought a pole baffle just in case.

it is very well made and it works keeping the squirrels away; so does the larger squirrel buster from years ago. and just in case, replacement parts are free

Befuddled squirrels and difficult for grackles. Small birds appreciate.

I didn't really believe this feeder could be squirrel proof, but, alas, IT IS! Love this product, my daughter wants one now.

Good product easy to order got here quickly

A couple of months ago I purchased the Brome Squirrel Buster Mini 1055 and was so delighted with how the squirrels absolutely could not get to the bird food that I purchased another one. I would highly recommend this feeder to anyone that has a problem with squirrels. My feeders constantly have birds at them. One of the best purchases I have ever made.

Bought it for my boss. I already have one.

Thank you!! A++

We felt so guilty after adding our squirrel-proof feeder that we returned our original feeder near our new feeder. The squirrels feast on old-faithful and the birds will occasionally visit but are always sure to find seed at THEIR exclusive feeder. It works! The squirrels have given up although they will occasionally clean up any droppings.

This product really is squirrel proof. My feeder is always crowded with birds and I have to fill it often. I will be purchasing another one soon as a gift. That will be three in all. I am thrilled with the service I received from JCs Wildlife as well. The item arrived quickly and was very carefully packed. Shipping and handling was free! Can't beat it!

I was pretty sure these Brome bird feeders would be effective at stopping squirrels, but I had no idea the birds would like them so much. I got the Mini because I don't have a lot of yard space and I wanted to see how the feeder would work. Not only were the squirrels completely flummoxed (they could see the food but couldn't get to it), but the birds couldn't get enough of it. Maybe it was the novelty of having competition-free food, but I blame the design of the feeder. Only a couple of birds can get to it at a time, so maybe I should have sprung for the bigger feeder, but now I know it works!

I had too many feeders to warrant one of the the full-sized Brome bird feeders, but this little guy makes a nice window unit. Since it does such a good job of keeping out squirrels, I can hang this feeder without setting up extra traps to keep the squirrels away. It's so small, it doesn't take up much room, but I get a clear view of my feathered friends. A really good product!
