Product Description
This is absolutely the best squirrel proof bird feeder I have ever used. Squirrels get a tiny shock when they attempt to raid the feeder and, believe me, they only try it a couple of times before they give up. They don't get hurt! They just go elsewhere. Stores lots of bird seed so you don't have to constantly refill. Requires one 9v battery (not included).

This feeder works great! Squirrels do a nice backflip off when they get zapped. They don't get on again. So far it has also kept the opossums and raccoons off as well.
I tried one of those lithium batteries in it and it did not work well. I'd stick with alkaline. I haven't had to replace them too often. About every 4-6 months I put in a new one just to be on the safe side.
This model is very large. I love being able to dump in this much sunflower seed and then not have to fill the feeder for a few weeks. I have it mounted on a pole and it works great there. The bottom tray is just big enough for cardinals and sometimes a mourning dove to land. Smaller perching birds have no problem on it.
Just remember to flip the switch to off before you try to fill it ;) It will give you a nice strong zap that you can feel from your finger to your shoulder.
I've had this now for about 4 years and it's weathered quite well being outside year round. If it stopped working tomorrow I would buy another one. It saves me a ton in the seed I used to waste on those squirrels. It saves me the frustration of finding my feeders ravaged by raccoons who used to leave them strewn across the yard.
I love this feeder.

I plunked down the cash for this expensive feeder after becoming so dispirited with the predations of squirrels that looking out the window at our visiting wildlife filled me with frustrated rage rather than happiness. Well, ol' Wild Bill came through. This feeder has changed everything for the backyard, and the squirrels now have to be content with the millet that our many visiting avian friends don't want, since they can enjoy a fine variety of seed from the feeder's three separate hoppers. Small enough perches for chickadees and winter wrens, big enough perches for a red-bellied woodpecker, and a nice lower tray that cardinals enjoy resting on after a snack. It is a great solution to the age-old problem of squirrels. And the squirrels no longer try to hop on the feeder, dimly aware in the deep recesses of their brain that something unpleasant lies ahead if they try to climb on. It's actually quite interesting; their compulsion drives them to the feeder, and they hover around it for a moment or two, as two powerful instincts conflict. In the end, the feeder wins, and they run off to eat somewhere else. I can't recommend this feeder highly enough. Well played, Wild Bill.

These feeders are great. They do keep the squires off. It is entertaining watching them. Unfortunately the electronics are not great. This is my third one in about 6 years. The electronics eventually fail and it becomes just another bird feeder.
