When a heavier animal—such as a squirrel—climbs up, the spring triggers the cage to drop and cover the feeding ports, preventing access. Small wild birds can still feed freely because the system responds to weight, not size alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight-activated spring triggers cage closure automatically\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOuter metal cage physically blocks large mammals from ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned to deter common species like gray and fox squirrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eResponsive to weight, allowing small birds to feed unhindered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it easy to fill and clean this feeder?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the feeder features an upgraded removable base that simplifies cleaning and seed replacement.
