Squirrel Buster Nut Feeder Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder for Nuts and Fruit, Two Meshes

This was my second Squirrel Buster purchase. I was really impressed with the first feeder I ordered another one. I wanted something that would attract woodpeckers and other birds to a fruit and nut feeder. One day after installing it the squirrels visited it and didn't even bother trying to steal the bird food, learning from my other Squirrel Buster feeder. I was really dismayed after one night the feeder was missing from the shepherd hook in my yard. We have a half-acre lot, enclosed with a with a 4-foot high fence. My new feeder was nowhere to be found. Some critter carried it away. Don't know if I will be replacing it since it was a very expensive feeder. My advice, secure it somehow so it can't be carried away by a raccoon or whatever.

The company has great customer support.I was very impressed with the quality of the product.

Works great I have 3 of the brome feeders now., all work great

This feeder works great. The squirrels however are still trying to get to the peanuts. Maintaining the proper separation distance is a must to minimize their efforts. Unfortunately my feeder is only 12 inches away from the shepherds hook it is mounted to so the squirrels can hang sideways trying to get to the peanuts. Even this only works momentarily because the feeder will close down and shut off access. The woodpeckers love it because it has the built in tail rest.

This generation of squirrels have given up! Looking forward to this year's crop of newbies.

My order for a "brome peanut feeder" was "lost" w a different seller acting odd giving no answers until amazon intervened; since i got no product, i got a swift 98.00 credit. I had to call Brome, a Canadian company, who will not talk on phone due to SarsCoV2 and emails were even difficult to get clarification- they finally said " Nut feeder has replaced peanut feeder w a few enhancements"- rude and seemed evasive but after several emails, that was all the product info I got. LOTS OF CONFUSION about product. I wish ellers made this stuff clear. I ordered this one I am reviewing: Brome "NUT FEEDER"...FYI the only place a bird can eat is that middle area of about 2"- the area that gets shrouded when a squierrel hops on (at about 1.5 lbs.). Awesome feeder comes w 2 difference meshes that are interchangable for that 2" feeding area- bigger and smaller sized holes in mesh. 1.3lb capacity. (a regular size plasticjar of peanuts is a pound). There are Youtube videos of this feeder put out by Brome. Looks like another well designed product but may take clinger birds a bit of time to figure out where the go to get a nut. I am experimenting using the bigger hole mesh. We'll see if critters disturbing the feeder cause spillage of peanuts. Will try and remember to update. Idea of this feeder is well thought out and I love the idea they let you chose which size "feeding area mesh" you want to use. With the bigger mesh it looks like if feeder got jossled around a lot w critters other than birds, some smaller peanuts could fall out. Capacity is only 1.3 lbs but you dont want peanuts sitting in the elements for days or weeks anyway- they spoil easy. I hope this well designed feeder works! Ok 3 weeks later I like feeder a lot. Starlings try but cannot feed from this- no perches and thye have great difficulty clinging, then seems like so much flapping the shrowd closes off the feed area- so thats a win. Took 3 weeks for my birds to feed here- they would approach feeder, and flap, maybe cuz they look like the other feeders in the yars- but no perches so at first they flew off. Nuthatches and 2 kinds of woodies use this feeder. I take suet down a lot when starlings start coming and the peanuts are a good substitute, at least in my book..3 weeks later: almost starling proof-even w suet removed I am having in influx of starlings for past 4 days- shroud on this feeder comes half way down so its vey frustrating for them to get a peanut.. & exhausting, Have resisted taking it down hoping they'll move on. I wish I could tighten tension just a hair more to make shroud shut w the weight of a starling...

This is the second one I have owned. Sturdy and works well. These make nice gifts.

Works very well and durable (3 full seasons now and starting our fourth.

After buying one brome we decided to buy the nut feeder to upgrade our old one. I’m in love it keeps the squirrels out and we can adjust it to keep the irritating birds like grackles out if we want to. The fact that these feeders let the feed breath while keeping it dry is such a bonus. At first thought they were expensive but so worth the money when they last forever and the company stands by the product and sends out replacement parts etc. Highly recommended!!!

Its perfect very easy to disassemble and clean and and the birds love using it and i am very please with the purchase from amazon

Great feeder, attracts a lot of birds that I like and blue Jay's . Can be adjusted to eliminate or accommodate different sizes.It is fairly rugged , not flimsy.

Herefordshire UK. The little birds found it in 2/3 days and began feeding on it regularly after 10 days. It doesn't need filling up much as there are no squirrels feeding off it. Brilliant!

This is the second Squirrel buster feeder I've bought, the first being for seeds now this one for nuts. The design on these is positively brilliant. The food is keep dry and safe from the elements. The spring mechanism that closes the feeder when anything too heavy is on the feeder is also protected from the elements and has worked perfectly through a Canadian winter of snow and ice. It's easy to remove to clean. Large birds like bluejays have no problem with the mechanism, but squirrels ... The first few days the squirrel could not even figure out how to get on the feeder, every time he came down on it, it moved and he fell. After a few days he got on the feeder and the feeding port closed perfectly. The squirrel got nothing, as you can see in the picture!
