 Only raccoon-proof high-cap feeder out there Jun 30, 2010
By B. Greenstone
For years I've been trying to find a raccoon-proof high capacity bird feeder. There are many squirrel-proof ones, but this is the *only* raccoon proof one in existence as far as I can tell. Raccoons have destroyed many plastic ones that I've tried, so I learned that any feeder must be all metal. Second, no matter how big of a baffle I put on my wire a raccoon will still get past it, so the metal feeder must also have a metal cage. This feeder is indestructable and raccoons can't get into it, plus, it holds several weeks worth of seed, so it's great!

 Not quite squirrel proof Apr 18, 2011
By Carol A. DeFreitas
This feeder did keep the larger birds like Blue Jays from monopolizing the feeder so that they smaller birds could get to it, however, it does not keep out Red Squirrels. I have a wonderful picture of a Red Squirrel sitting inside the mesh, on the platform, blissfully munching away. We had to get a Squirrel Baffle ($24)to put under the feeder to keep them from getting to the feeder. If you have just Grey Squirrels I don't think this would be a problem. It holds a lot of seeds so instead of refilling a feeder every day, we refill this one about every 5 days.

A definite improvement over my previous feeder Apr 30, 2012
By Melissa Bernard
I had a cheap "squirrel proof" cage feeder that I bought at Target. The major issue with it was when the squirrels would leap onto it, they could swing the feeder and spill the seeds. Occasionally small or juvenile squirrels could also fit through the holes and get into the cage. With this new feeder, the squirrels still jump and swing on it. One feature I really like is the seed reservoir on top that gravity feeds the seed into the feeder. This makes it impossible for the squirrels to swing and spill the seeds (as long as the feeder is full). The cage holes are also small enough to prevent any squirrels from getting inside. I also like the size of the feeder. It has more seed ports than my previous feeder. The one thing I have mixed emotions about is the shelf on the bottom. It is always covered in seed remnants and bird feces with no way to clean it. There are tons of seed remnants under the feeder on the deck so I don't feel like the shelf is making much of a difference. Also, the squirrels have figured out that they can hang on the feeder and stick their tongues through the holes and lick seeds (and feces) off the edges of the shelf. Gross. Other than that I am happy with the purchase!

"loves animals"
The birds love it and it does keep the big birds out. But.......like all feeders, when it rains the seed gets clogged in the bottom and makes a mess.
