Bird Feeding is Our Passion
Bird feeding isn’t just our specialty - it’s our lifestyle. All of our products stem from our commitment to creating a bird-feeding experience that is fun & fulfilling.
Feed Birds, Not Squirrels
We offer a variety of squirrel-resistant features to ensure your seed is reserved for the birds, not the squirrels.
Room for Plenty of Birds
With less competition from squirrels, and lots of ports on offer, our feeders will accommodate many birds at once.
Weight-activated Perches
When squirrels try to gain access to the perches, the ports close off under their weight.
Metal Accents
Our squirrel-resistant feeders feature metals details like cages, port covers, and lids to provide extra defense against squirrels.
Secure Lid
For additional squirrel resistance our feeders boast benefits like sure-lock or twist-lock lids.
Large Seed Capacity
With plenty of seed in the reservoir, and nor squirrels to steal it, your hungry birds are sure to be well fed.
Seed Guide
Every bird species has their own seed preferences. Fill your feeders based on the type of bird you want to attract.
Cardinals
These non-migratory birds are a favorite of many bird lovers. They prefer black-oil sunflower seed and mixed seed.
Chickadees
These adorable birds love to feast on black-oil sunflower seed, mixed seed, peanuts, and mealworms.
Finches
There are many varieties of finches. These beauties enjoy eating mixed seed and Nyjer / thistle.
Nuthatches
For nuthatches, the larger the food, the better. They prefer black-oil sunflower seed, mixed seed, and peanuts.
Titmice
In the summer, titmice mainly feed on insects. But they also enjoy seeds, particularly mixes that include seeds, nuts, and berries.
For maximum protection against squirrels and maximum comfort for your favorite birds, try the Perky-Pet Squirrel-Be-Gone Max Bird Feeder. This feeder includes our patented Flexports, which offer 5-in-1 benefits for birds and you. The unique design is 4X more shake resistant than standard ports so there's less seed waste - which means money saved and fewer messes on the ground! The design also allows birds to feed at an optimal position outside of the port, offering better visibility so they feel safer and stick around longer. Each feeding station also features a ladder-style perch to accommodate a wide variety of bird sizes. To offer defense against squirrels, this feeder boasts multiple great features. First, this feeder's weight-activated perch system is calibrated to support the weight of birds but not squirrels. When squirrels try to gain access to the perches, the ports close off under their weight. In addition, the new and improved Sure-Lock cap prevents squirrels from lifting the lid, while the metal frame discourages chewing around the ports. To ensure a 100% squirrel proof feeder, placement is key! Squirrels are clever acrobats, so it's important to find the right hanging location. Hang the feeder with at least 18 inches of clearance on all sides so squirrels can't easily reach the ports.

I've had the product up for about 3 weeks. Yesterday I found a squirrel INSIDE the feeder. It was hung properly per the instructions (surpassed the dimensions). The squirrel somehow lifted the lid and it stayed up in place then it proceeded to eat the plastic that connects the lid to the feeder. It may possibly last just a bit longer, but it has been chewed threw completely on one connector with the other three connectors all being chewed. I am very disappointed!

Very nice sized high volume bird feeder with a unique anti squirrel design. Durable made with quality product. The perch platforms are on a spring loaded system. When heavy animals get on the perch their weight closes off assess to the feed. It will probably work on large birds as well. The top of the feeder opens to allow filling of the feeder. This will be a nice addition to the back yard.

So far, this bird feeder has really worked well. It holds way more seeds than I like to put out during the Winter, but this Summer, I will load it up. I had to take my others down to clean and this new one came just in time. It has really nice shake resistant ports. I have squirrel resistant guards on my poles and use these types of feeders that close when squirrels find an innovative way to get around my devices, but this one also has some nicely designed ports that aid in not letting the seed out when shaken. The weather protection is great. I’m pleased with this bird feeder so far. I’m hoping it will keep the squirrels out all seasons and keep the birds coming in the yard.

Birds are Tweeting about the new Perky Pet Squirrel Be Gone Bird Feeder, so festive this morning like I have never seen! I would give the feeder 10 stars if the seed housing were glass opposed to plastic, Florida sun can be brutal. Currently placed outside my kitchen window may have to move into the shade for longevity.
The frame and top are metal, stands over 16 in. tall and at the widest point 6" wide. Holds 4 pounds of a variety of bird seed you will notice in photo's.
Love the large opening at the top making it easy to place food in the feeder and not ending with half on the ground. The small push button on the lid releases the grip on the cable to open and close the feeder.
4 stands can be placed in a up or down position, loved seeing 4 tiny birds all sitting on each stand eating together.
Caught a squirrel wanting to eat but was not successful, he looked a bit perplexed previously dominating all bird feeders, when squirrels were full birds ate left overs.
The lower section of the bird feeder is spring activated, if a squirrel or a larger bird were to land on one of the little steps it will pull down blocking the hole. Each of the 4 holes are designed just big enough for birds to get their little beaks in and prevents rain from entering
Truthfully I get a kick watching squirrels using their acrobat skills as they eat out of feeders but now I have one only for birds and another for squirrels and larger birds.
Smaller birds and baby birds were looking as if celebrating they now have their own feeder which makes washing dishes looking out my kitchen window very entertaining
If I had to guess I would bet a bird lover designed the Perky Pet Bird Feeder ;-}

If you love birds like we do, you'll want this Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder. Its unique design is four times more shake resistant than standard feeders, so you will have less seed waste and fewer messes on the ground. Also, it is specially designed to offer defense against squirrels with its ladder-style perch system that is calibrated to support the weight of birds, but when squirrels try to gain access to the perches the ports close off under their weight. And finally, the new and improved Sure-Lock cap prevents squirrels from lifting the lid.

Not as good as I had hoped. I will give it good marks as far as keeping squirrels away from the seed. I watched and the squirrel couldn't get much of anything.
But as for the birds. After watching them , they have a difficult time getting the seeds for themselves. I also wished there was a second row to feed from. 4 isn't enough.
It will feed the birds and not the squirrels.

This bird feeder works great for seeds that squirrels love, such as sunflower seeds. My birdfeeders tend to get emptied out in a matter of days because squirrels know how to empty them, and I haven't seen any squirrels able to extract seeds from this feeder with its springy perches that prevent heavier animals from feeding. It has a really large 4 pound capacity. This is helpful for me because I hate having to wade out in the snow every few days to pull down the feeder, refill, and then hang it back up. The lid appears to be quite secure from tipping, with a spring-loaded button cable. The tabs that fold down for bird perches are a bit bendy - I accidentally dropper the feeder and bent one of them. It does bend back, but might break off if you happened to do that too many times. The silicone flaps protecting the feeder holes are beneficial to prevent moisture from getting in and causing seed to mold.

Wanted to replace some old feeders for the birds. Got this one because of the squirrel features. Comes pre-assembled. Made from quality materials with a nice neutral finish that looks good in the yard. Easy to fill with the "thumb stop" on the top cable, allowing good access to the feeder for refilling. When mounted per the attached instructions, it has so far kept the squirrels from getting to the bird seed. Nice feeder, should last a long time.

The “Squirrel-Be-Gone” Max bird feeder from “Perky-Pet” manufacturer arrived yesterday. Since I had researched how and where to hang it, I had already selected the tree on my side lot that overlooks the pond. Using a metal hook for hanging plants is just perfect for this bird feeder. The location is great for deterring squirrels from this feeder. And late yesterday I watched the blue jays and cardinals as they found the new feeder and didn’t have to compete with squirrels! Excellent product! Very happy with it! Thank you to the manufacturer!

They say if you build a better one, the world will beat a path to your door. If that's true, I suppose all roads now lead to the good people at Perky-Pet!
What they've created is the ultimate bird feeder, surpassed by none before it.
First it holds 4 pounds of bird seed, so that should keep the chirpers happy for a while. When it comes time for refilling it, the top has a press button that allows it to slide up so you have easy access to the fill chamber. Just fill it, then slide it back down. That couldn't be easier.
No stone has been left unturned for our feathered friends. The four perches are ergonomically designed so they can feed easily through little port holes all around the unit. The brilliance of those perches is carefully hidden, though. They are designed to handle the weight of birds, but if a squirrel somehow makes it that far, the weight of the squirrel is enough to pull down the perches and effectively close off the feeding ports! The squirrels can't steal your bird seed!
That's pretty clever!
Over all it's an atractive lawn decoration that requires no assembly. I have several bird feeders, but this is my first 'high-tech' designer unit. It's solidly built for the long haul so your birds can have a happy meal all the time!
