Built from rust-resistant metal and designed with a gravity-sensing closure, the Skaithee feeder lets small songbirds feed freely while blocking heavier pests. Its transparent reservoir and large opening make refills and cleaning quick, so you’ll spend less time maintaining and more time watching cardinals, finches, blue jays, sparrows, and other backyard visitors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the squirrel-proof system work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe feeder uses a gravity-activated mechanism that senses weight on the perches and closes feeding ports when heavier animals land.
