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.
The Perky-Pet Squirrel Slammer Wild Bird Feeder features a distinctive weight activated slammer that closes its ports instantly under a squirrel's weight. The slammer also has an adjustable weight setting so you can decide which birds to keep out. The high quality metal base and ports prevent squirrel damage and the plastic clear cover acts as another squirrel deterrent while keeping your seed dry. The Squirrel Slammer Feeder can hold up to 3.5 lb of seed.

Great feeder to feed birds and squirrels!
Birds love it, unfortunately so do squirrels, took them about 5 days to figure out how to defeat the system, waste of $35 if you buy it because you think it will stop squirrels.

We're sorry to hear about this! Try and hang your feeder at least twelve feet from any tree trunk or limb and at least four feet up from the ground. This will prevent squirrels from either jumping from the tree or up from the ground onto the feeder. It is good to know that the feeder is covered under a 30-day return policy and a 1-year replacement policy. Please give us a call at 855-737-5973 for assistance.

Mourning doves were too heavy to feed from it, but the squirrels knocked it down and both fed from what spilled out. Gonna try cajun seeds next.

We are sorry to hear this! We understand that when you purchased your feeder it was not intended to be shared with the neighborhood squirrels. These persistent critters will go to great lengths to steal a taste of that tantalizing birdseed. Keep in mind squirrels can JUMP! Ideal placement would be at least 12 feet away from any type of launch pad (tree, fence…) and at least 4 feet off the ground. The feeder is covered under a 30 day return policy and a 1 year replacement policy. Please contact us at 855-737-5973 with any questions.

Came unglued
This looked nice and attracted lots of birds. The shield protected the feed from getting wet from snow/rain. The plastic body is THIN and the bottom half fell off after 6 weeks of use, and we DON'T have squirrels here ! WE are gluing it together and hoping for the best! I bought it more than 90 days ago, and therefore I can't get a refund from Home Depot.

Not squirrel proof!
It only took a week for the squirrels to figure out how to stick their foot in one slot to hold it open while eating! It doesn’t “slam shut” as the ad says... disappointing.

Not Squirrel Proof. destroyed in 28 days
I purchased this feeder 28 days ago. It took the birds a couple weeks to discover it, as did the squirrels who shortly thereafter defeated it in three different ways:1. They hit it or swing it and food drops to the ground.2. As other reviewers mentioned, uneven weight distribution on the feed platform can cause it to bind, leaving the feed ports open for a squirrel to pig out even if the spring is adjusted fairly light.3. The squirrel that ruined it in under a month hung from the attachment wire by it's back feet and proceeded to gnaw through the ends of the cheap, green plastic bar that the wire support loop attaches to. Once the ends were gone the feeder falls to the ground for a grand squirrel buffet and requires replacement of the plastic bar with a metal one before its usable.I have a plan to fix the feeder as well as solutions to further thwart the furry squirrel beasts.For issue 1. I'm going to devise some shock absorption method so when they hit/swing the feeder it will move slowly and not drop as much food.For issues 2 and 3 I'm getting a rigid metal 18" squirrel baffle / shield with metal attachment clips and will replace the cheap green plastic bar with an aluminum or steel one. So this $30 squirrel proof feeder will end up costing me a bunch of time and $40 additional to actually make it squirrel proof.

Squirrel defeated and destroyed within less than 1 week
Squirrels seemed to struggle but still attempted daily to feed unsuccessfully. They appear to have found the weakness of this device. The entire feeder is held by a metal loop that goes through a plastic rod at the top of the feeder. The squirrels just chewed the plastic rod until the feeder fell to the ground. Very disappointed in our first feeder and I can not recommend this feeder or brand as a result. Spent 30 dollars for less than one week of feeding.

I think I've tried everything, Right now, this is working. I think you have to hang it such that the only way the squirrels can get on it is for them to have to try to crawl down from the top of it (not jump from a nearby branch or deck). I used a baffle to make it even more difficult. The fact that it is a smooth plastic design, the squirrels can not hang upside down and scoop the seed out, which is what they have done on my metal cage type feeders. It is a little tight for the cardinals to eat but they manage to eat all they want as do the smaller birds. It's a reasonable price too,

Works well keeping the squirrels off. They learn pretty quick they can't get to the seed.

Squirrel Slammer Bird Feeder
This is a great feeder if you live in the City like I do and have lots of Squirrels near by . It has a base that when the Squirrel jumps up on it , it automatically closes and does not allow the squirrel to feed on the seed. When you feed as many birds as we do , it helps to keep the squirrels out of the feeder. I will be looking to get another one of these for our feeding station . I like some of the features as well. it has two adjustable screws on the bottom that allow you to adjust the weight needed to close the feeder so if you have a problem with crows like we do you can adjust it so you can shut them out as well. I like the clear plastic cylinder as well so you can see how much seed is left in the feeder and know when it needs refilling . Though at our house it is a daily chore when it is cold outside as once the know the food is there the line up is never ending for the feeders despite having several to choose from.
