Built from powder-coated metal with a galvanised roof and decorative cardinal weathervane, it holds up to 8 pounds of seed and offers multiple mounting options so you can place it where birds visit most. Thoughtful features — a removable locking roof for easy refills, an adjustable spring to fine-tune which birds can access seed ports, and a bottom pole mount — make this a reliable addition to small- and large-yard setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the squirrel-blocking mechanism work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe feeder uses a weight-activated perch system that senses when a heavy animal climbs on and automatically closes the feeding ports. That means squirrels and larger nuisance birds are denied access without harming wildlife. You can adjust sensitivity to match common visitors at your feeder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight-activated perch closes ports upon sufficient weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-position adjustable spring tailors response for bird sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAll-metal construction prevents easy squirrel damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePowder-coated finish resists wear from weather and chewing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat seed and capacity does this feeder accommodate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for sunflower, safflower, and mixed seed blends, this model stores plenty of food between refills. The wide opening and 8-pound capacity reduce how often you need to refill while allowing quick access when you do.
