Brome Squirrel Buster Nut Feeder 1053 Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder for Nuts and Fruit, Two Meshes

I purchased an earlier version in 2017. After 6 years of 24 x 7 use, including multiple hurricanes and a probable raccoon attack, it finally reached the point where it was just not working.Quick visit to the web site, email sent and received (no more than than two minutes of effort), and less than a week later a brand new replacement part arrived. No fuss, no problems. Great feeder from an even better company! The part is so shiny, a hesitate to use it!

My main goal is to attract bluebirds. So I use mealworms and black soldier fly larvae in this feeder using the larger mesh. The bluebirds were willing to cling to the feeder to eat the worms, but they seem much happier now that I cut the tip off of a bamboo skewer and used it to make them a perch. It doesn't keep the weight mechanism from triggering, I just have to remove the skewer to fill it. Just wanted to share in case anyone else wants to try it!

I recently began feeding birds using a beautiful red cedar feeder manufactured in Canada. I quickly learned that it was impossible to keep gray squirrels from taking over, even after mounting baffles. Safflower seed slowed the critters down but didn't prevent them from using the feeder as a clubhouse.I purchased a Squirrel Buster Plus as a second feeder and found that it performed as advertised. I wanted to continue to use two feeders and contacted the manufacturer of Squirrel Buster feeders (Brome) to ask for advice as to which of their units would compliment the SB Plus. The friendly representative indicated that the Nut Feeder would attract additional species. Her advice was spot on. It takes a while for the feeder to be discovered by previously unseen species, but the clientele is building steadily.Squirrels continue to hang about, but despite diligent efforts have been unsuccessful in breaching either of the Squirrel Buster units.

It appears to be well made. Easy to fill. Bought 2 of these after using one for a week. 1 Squirrel Buster Standard; then - 2 Squirrel Buster Nut Feeder - Only use Black-Oil Sunflower Seed.

Living up to its name. . no squirrels! Also extremely easy to clean!

I had problems with grackles & blackbirds flocking to this feeder, which was not my intention. So after adjusting it to the lowest setting allowed, it still allowed them able to get food from it. I then bought small refrigerator magnets and added those to the under lip at the top of the feeder. This absolutely worked as you can see in the pics with the black birds that it’s now closed! While still allowing my other darling birds allowed to feed in peace. Hope this helps anyone with the same issue.

Love the Squirrel Buster Feeders. We keep peanuts in this feeder and get all types of woodpeckers and other birds. Blue jays, cardinals, chickadees, nuthatches, and even finches learn how to hang on to the mesh and feed on the peanuts. A great bird feeder that will frustrate the most persistant of squirrels.

First, I want to say I’m a huge fan of all the Brome Squirrel Buster products—your feeders are truly top-notch! That being said, I’m having a bit of trouble with the peanut feeder. It’s been up for six weeks now, and unfortunately, it’s the least popular of my feeders.So far, I’ve only seen the occasional chickadee visit—no woodpeckers, no other birds. I know it’s not the food, since I’ve offered the same chopped peanuts in my other feeders and they get plenty of activity. Even the woodpecker would rather use the tube feeders and struggle to hang on.I’ve even tried moving the peanut feeder to a new location in hopes it might help, but still not much interest. I’m doing my best to be patient, but I really feel it’s the small space they can access the nuts.Thanks so much for a great line of products! Can’t wait to buy the Evolution.

We had a couple of “squirrel-proof” bird feeders before that didn’t last very long before the squirrels had eaten through the plastic. This photo is from over a year after we purchased this feeder. It still looks like new and keeps out squirrels.

I love everything about this Squirrel Buster Nut Feeder. The woodpeckers and blue jays love it!

I wanted to attract woodpeckers near my house so thought I’d try something different. Filled it up with shelled peanuts and within a few hours got a red bellied, pileated, and nuthatchers. Even better the squirrels don’t stand a chance with these feeders and jump off. They stick to eating the bits on the ground the birds drop.

Effective design, sturdy construction, easy to clean. Great product with great product support should you need it. These feeders are well worth their cost. If you want to bring nature to your yard having a good bird feeder is a wonderful way to attract a variety of feathered friends to your home.

JCS, I am like very much any item I do buy from them always good. 👍

The birds fight over this feeder because they can get bigger pieces of food. They love it and are so much fun to watch. Brome feeders are totally squirrel proof too.

The birds love it! Keeps the squirrels from raiding the peanuts.

These Brome bird feeders use an ingenious, weight-based design to deny squirrels the tasty peanuts you've filled the feeder with. The feeder looks great in any section of the yard, and I can fill it to capacity without worrying about the hook that comes with it breaking. I don't mind squirrels, but I don't want them eating my bird feed, which is why I love Brome.
