The powder-coated metal body and locking lid resist chewers and the elements, while weight-activated perches close feeding ports when heavier animals attempt to raid the seed. The result is less waste, longer time between refills, and more reliable visits from wild birds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the weight-activated squirrel protection work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDual perches sense the weight of perched animals: they remain open for songbirds but collapse under heavier weight, closing access to the feeding ports.
