Brome Squirrel Buster Plus squirrel-proof bird feeder, Green — 5.1 lb capacity, 6 ports

The Brome Squirrel Buster Plus is a heavy-duty, truly squirrel-proof bird feeder that holds 5.1 pounds of seed and uses a weight-activated shroud plus a Cardinal Ring to give small songbirds safe access while blocking squirrels and larger birds.

If you want a reliable, low-maintenance feeder that dramatically reduces seed theft, the Squirrel Buster Plus is designed for that purpose. Built from UV-stabilized, chew-resistant materials, this model is Brome’s largest-capacity and most popular design. It measures 28 inches from base to hanger and includes the patented Cardinal Ring System and six feeding ports to accommodate a variety of small backyard visitors.

How does the Squirrel Buster Plus stop squirrels without harming them?

The feeder uses a weight-sensitive spring mechanism and an outer shroud that aligns with the feeding ports. When a lightweight bird lands, openings expose the ports and allow feeding; when a heavy squirrel or large bird climbs on, the shroud slides down to cover the ports and block access. The action is mechanical and non-injurious — it prevents access rather than trapping or hurting animals.

• Patented weight-adjustable spring closes the shroud under excess weight.
• Shroud openings only align for small songbird access.
• Design deters squirrels and larger nuisance birds without physical harm.
• Adjustable tension customizes sensitivity for local bird species.

What seed capacity and feeding options does it offer?

The Squirrel Buster Plus holds roughly 3 quarts (about 5.1 pounds) of mixed or specialty seed, making it ideal for longer refill intervals and for larger birdwatching households. Six feeding ports provide multiple access points around the feeder, and the included Cardinal Ring helps accommodate larger or more territorial species like cardinals without compromising squirrel protection.

• 5.1-pound (3-quart) seed capacity reduces refill frequency.
• Six evenly spaced feeding ports let several birds feed simultaneously.
• Cardinal Ring included to offer room for larger songbirds without exposing seed to squirrels.
• Compatible with other Brome accessories (pole adaptor sold separately).

How durable and weather-resistant is the feeder?

Constructed from UV-stabilized, chew-proof materials, the Squirrel Buster Plus is built to endure sun exposure, rain, and the chewing attempts of determined rodents. Components are designed for outdoor longevity, and the finish resists fading and brittleness over time. Brome also backs the product with responsive Lifetime Care support for troubleshooting and replacement parts.

• UV-stabilized plastics resist discoloration and degradation.
• Chew-resistant construction minimizes squirrel damage attempts.
• Simple disassembly for cleaning extends usable life.
• Lifetime Care support provides parts help and expert assistance.

Who is this for? The Brome Squirrel Buster Plus suits homeowners and bird enthusiasts who want a durable, low-maintenance feeder that minimizes seed loss and attracts a variety of small songbirds. It’s especially valuable for those dealing with persistent squirrels or larger nuisance birds, households that prefer fewer refills thanks to the 5.1-pound capacity, and anyone wanting an easy-to-adjust system to match local bird weights and behavior. Note that the unit is pole-mountable but the pole adaptor is sold separately; it also works on sturdy hangers or shepherd’s hooks where permitted.
