Yarbirder Squirrel-Proof Tube Bird Feeder — Bronze, 3 lb Capacity, 360° Weight-Activated, Removable Base

The Yarbirder squirrel-proof bird feeder is a weather-resistant hanging tube with a 360° weight-activated mechanism that blocks access for squirrels while offering four feeding ports for backyard songbirds.

This metal-and-plastic feeder blends a roomy 3-pound seed capacity with a clear seed window and an easy-to-remove base for deep cleaning. Finished in bronze, it hangs from a porch, tree limb or feeder pole to welcome cardinals, finches, chickadees and other small to medium wild birds while discouraging larger pests. The weight-sensitive spring closes openings when heavy animals land, giving smaller perching birds safe access to seed.

How does the 360° weight-sensitive system protect seed from squirrels?

The feeder uses a built-in spring activated by weight distributed around the tube. When a squirrel or large bird lands, the mechanism pulls the ports into a closed position, sealing access to the interior while allowing lighter songbirds to feed normally.

• Weight-activated spring locks feeding ports under heavier loads
• Full 360° activation closes multiple ports simultaneously
• Best results when hung where squirrels can’t climb directly onto it
• Metal construction resists chewing and weather wear

What makes cleaning and maintenance easy?

The Yarbirder feeder’s bottom tray detaches quickly so you can reach the inner tube and ports for washing. Regular cleaning helps keep seed fresh and reduces mold or bacteria buildup that can harm birds.

• Removable base allows full interior access for scrubbing and rinsing
• Transparent seed window shows remaining seed level at a glance
• Rust-resistant materials tolerate outdoor exposure for longer life
• Simple reassembly—no tools required—makes upkeep quick

Which seeds, birds, and settings work best with this feeder?

This tube feeder accepts a wide range of dry seeds—black oil sunflower, safflower, cracked corn and peanuts all work well—attracting a variety of common backyard species. Its four elongated perches give several small birds space to feed simultaneously without crowding.

• Compatible with black oil sunflower, safflower, cracked corn and mixed seed blends
• Attracts cardinals, finches, chickadees, titmice, nuthatches and sparrows
• Hang on a branch, pole or porch away from launching points for squirrels
• 3 lb capacity reduces refill frequency for medium-sized yards

How durable is the feeder for year-round outdoor use?

Built from metal and weather-resistant plastic with a rainproof top, the Yarbirder feeder is designed to resist rust, chewing and seasonal elements. The bronze finish offers a classic look while the construction helps seeds stay dry and usable through variable weather.

• Metal tube and perches resist rodent chewing and deformation
• 100% rainproof top cover keeps seeds dry in wet conditions
• Plastic components simplify weight-sensing movement without corroding
• Compact 5.1" x 5.1" x 15.8" footprint suits many backyard sites
