JCS Wildlife Squirrel Stopper Wild Bird Feast Small Cylinder

Feed the birds, not the squirrels. The JCS Wildlife Squirrel Stopper Wild Bird Feast Small Cylinder delivers a premium blend of no-mess ingredients that wild birds crave, while helping deter squirrels and other unwanted pests.

Infused with natural capsaicin, this compact cylinder provides high-energy nutrition in a clean, feeder-friendly format. At 1.5 lbs. and 4" wide by 8" tall, it's a great choice for smaller feeders, lighter setups, tight spaces, or anyone looking to try hot pepper bird seed to help keep stubborn squirrels away.

Key Features & Benefits

• Helps Deter Squirrels: Infused with natural capsaicin gel. Squirrels and other mammalian pests experience the intense heat and may stay away, while wild birds can safely eat the food.

• Premium Nut & Seed Feast: Packed with premium black oil sunflower seed, sunflower chips, shelled peanuts, shelled pecans, and safflower. Contains no cheap filler seeds like millet or milo.

• Low-Waste Formula: Pre-shelled nut meats and high-preference seeds help birds consume more of the food directly at the feeder, reducing dropped shells and debris beneath the feeder.

• High-Fat Daily Energy: Formulated with a minimum of 36% crude fat to provide backyard songbirds with a concentrated source of energy during nesting, migration, and cold winter months.

• Compact Feeder-Friendly Size: The 1.5-lb. cylinder is ideal for lighter pole setups, small yards, tight spaces, or testing hot pepper bird seed on persistent local squirrels.

• Easy to Hang: A convenient center hole allows the cylinder to slide onto standard hanging pin feeders, post-mounted cylinder pegs, or compatible specialty platform feeding stations.

• Long-Lasting Compressed Cylinder: The compressed design requires birds to peck at the food rather than scattering loose seed, helping reduce waste and allowing the cylinder to last longer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of nuts are included in this Wild Bird Feast cylinder?
This premium pest-deterrent blend includes both shelled peanuts and shelled pecans. These high-protein, high-fat nut pieces are favorites among woodpeckers, nuthatches, and chickadees, while the absence of shells helps reduce mess beneath the feeder.

Will the hot pepper coating wash off in the rain?
No. The natural capsaicin is thoroughly infused and bound together with high-quality gelatin throughout the entire cylinder. This helps keep the spicy ingredient distributed throughout the cylinder, even in wet weather.

How do I hang this compact 4" x 8" cylinder?
The cylinder features a convenient pre-molded center hole that allows it to easily slide onto any standard hanging pin feeder, post-mounted cylinder peg, or specialty platform feeding station.

How long does a bird seed cylinder last compared to loose seed?
Compressed cylinders can last significantly longer because birds must peck at the food rather than throwing loose seeds out of a traditional hopper feeder. This helps reduce rapid consumption and waste while giving birds access to a concentrated food source.
