Supa Caged Fat Ball Wild Bird Feeder | Designed To Deter Squirrels And Also Larger Garden Birds Such As Pigeons And Doves

Excellent quality and value for money

It is just right to hold 5 fat balls. It gets covered in an assortment of tits, including long tailed. It also stops squirrel. I have five similar bird feeders and they are great 👍

We have a few squirrels visiting our garden. One in particular has decided not to be a real squirrel anymore and forage for food, no, that would be crazy. First thing in the morning he comes into our garden and attempts to clean out the bird feeders and frightens off all the small bird in the process. So we bought 2 caged feeders. This one was for the fat balls. For 2 weeks straight he spent 15 minutes every day trying to get into the feeder. Eventually he figured how to open the lid and get inside. Even though the lid is stiff to open, I now have to twist a little piece of wire around the lid latch to stop him opening it. Occasionally he will stretch his front leg through the bars and scrape some fat ball with his claws and then put it into his mouth, however, he seems to have realised that he is probably burning more energy hanging onto the feeder trying to get tiny scraps of food off the fat ball than he is actually consuming, so he still occasionally tries his luck but give up after a few seconds. However, Magpies are able to lean their heads through the bars and do a fair bit of damage to the fat balls, not as much as the squirrels but they are still annoying. The Coal Tits and Great Tits love the feeder, but the Robins don’t like the feeder too much and prefer to scavenge the crumbs dropped below but the other birds.

My feisty garden blackbirds, robins and sparrows cannot access the fatballs offered. Moreover the product is so heavy with only 2 fatballs it needs to be suspended from a pretty robust branch rarely found in small gardens. So still seeking a safe way to attract small birds preyed upon by cats.....rather disappointing as it's well made.

Small birds get the fats balls not problem. Squirrels can not get to the.

A lot cheaper than garden centres

Quality product .looks sturdy prompt delivery and it was well packed .would recomend

Very good for stopping all the big birds but the cage is still a bit near to the fat balls and our resident rat climbs down the hanger and reaches in from the top of the device. Overnight he ate 2 fat balls.Answer- attach large clothes pegs to the top as per photoThis really works. He got fed up and went awayHaven’t seen the resident squirrel try it yet

Der Vogelknödel-Käfig kommt in guter Qualität und ist leicht zu befüllen. Ich habe ihn gekauft, weil in meiner Region gerne ein Schwarm Halsbandsittiche den kleineren Vögeln das Futter streitig macht - und schonmal mehrere Vogelknödel pro Tag "zerlegt", wovon dann die Hälfte auf dem Boden liegt.Ich war gespannt, ob dieser "Käfig" auch die cleveren Papageien abhält... und es hat zwei Tage gedauert, bis sie sich getraut haben, die Vogelknödel durch das engere Gitter zu naschen. Leider nur zwei Tage, denn die Kletterkünstler sind auch clever. Somit leider keine Lösung für "mein" Anliegen (deshalb nur 3 statt 4 Sternen), aber vielleicht hilft es bei Eichhörnchen & Co?

Save your money if you think this will keep bully birds away from the suet. It's a nice design but the cage needs to be bigger to keep the grackles and starlings from hogging down the suet. I would send it back but I don't want to try to wash it to do so.
