Perky-Pet® Squirrel-Be-Gone® II Country Style Bird Feeder

Have fun watching everything from finches and blue jays to juncos and cardinals when you add this Perky-Pet® Squirrel-Be-Gone® II Country Style Bird Feeder to your yard. Its designed with weight-activated perches that keep squirrels and even larger problem birds like blackbirds from getting to the seed, but the real standout point for this feeder is its country home-style look. The cutout shapes let the seed show through the windows and doors, and the bright red color adds a classic touch to your outdoor decor.

Squirrel-Proof Design

Squirrel-Proof Design

To offer defense against squirrels, this feeder boasts multiple great features. First, is the feeder’s weight-activated perch, which is calibrated to support the weight of birds but not squirrels. When squirrels try to gain access to the seed, the ports close off under their weight. Birds can sit on the perch without activating it. The sensitivity can also be adjusted to keep out larger nuisance birds. In addition, the weathervane lid lock prevents squirrels from lifting the lid, while the metal frame discourages chewing.

To ensure a 100% squirrel proof feeder, placement is key! Hang the feeder with at least 18 inches of clearance on all sides so squirrels can’t easily reach the ports without activating the perch.

Durable and Versatile

This Perky-Pet® Squirrel-Be-Gone® II Country Style Bird Feeder has an all-metal construction designed to stand up to the weather and squirrel invaders. The metal is powder-coated in a bright red eye-catching color and provides enhanced rust resistance and durability. This feeder can be hung or pole mounted for versatile placement anywhere around your yard.

Attractive, Rustic Style

Attractive, Rustic Style

Birds and bird lovers alike can’t deny the charm of this delightful feeder. This unique feeder is styled after a country barn, complete with a bold red finish, galvanized metal roof, and windows. The roof-style lid is even topped with a traditional weathervane, which conveniently locks the lid in place.

Easy to Clean

Cleaning and filling is an effortless process thanks to the feeder’s convenient design. The removable roof and large opening make this feeder easy to fill with up to 8 lb capacity of black-oil sunflower seed, mixed seed, hulled sunflower seed, or safflower seed. Cleaning the feeder is also easy! We recommend cleaning the feeder at least every two weeks and regularly checking the seed to ensure it is free of insects and mold.

I have purchased 2 of your more recent country house feeders made in Thailand. Horrible! The roof does not latch properly so birds and squirrels enter feeder and eat their fill. The quality of this poorly made product is awful and you should consider using a different manufacturer next time. I bought 2 because I thought the first was a mistake or fluke. Nope, both poorly made!

Great American Ingenuity!

Great American Ingenuity! It is actually quite entertaining to watch the circus act squirrels have to go through to get a morsel from this feeder! They really have to work at it and don't get much. Unlike aesthetically pleasing, "hi-tech", plastic feeders designed by nerds with auto-cad, this one actually works well, is practical, and makes sense. I picture the original being crafted by a handy farmer as a winter project. Details like little dimples on the acrylic window to hold it snug are impressive. Manufacturing in China is well done. I bought this because I wanted a robust, high-capacity feeder that could also exclude most unwanted visitors. For Christmas I received a Bird Buddy feeder whose claim to fame is the inclusion of an AI enabled, solar-powered nature cam (basically ring doorbell technology). That part is very cool, but their feeder is worthless. I took the guts out of if and modified my Perky-Pet® Squirrel-Be-Gone II Country House Wild Bird Feeder to get the best of both worlds. Works great!

I gave it one star only because I can not give it zero stars. I have been purchasing perky pet feeders for years. I have this one that I have been using for six years and it is finally looking sad. I purchased a new one and it is nothing like the quality of my original. The sleeve for pole mounting is half the length of the previous one and as aa result it does not sit securely on the pole. The roof is a joke in that it is thin and does not fit correctly on the house. If this is how you are now downgrading your products, I will not be purchasing yours any longer. Very sad!

I just received my new Perky-Pet® Squirrel-Be-Gone Red Country House Wild Bird Feeder and disappointingly it is 1. missing the pole mount hardware, and 2. the cardinal on the top just lays over on its side with no way to have it stand up. I bought this one to replace an existing Perky-Pet® Squirrel-Be-Gone Red Country House Wild Bird Feeder that is just over 5 years old and is showing its age. I will return this one to Amazon, but I was hoping to put it out today. Since I have to return this one, I cannot give a good recommendation, and I give 2 Stars as the quality of the rest of the unit is nice- it is just not usable as received.

I bought 2 feeders 4-5 years ago & I LOVE it!! You MUST select a spot where squirrels can’t drop down from a higher tree branch or climb up from the ground. I dug a hole, filled it w/cement, put a 4”x4”x10’ square fence post down in the cement, surrounded the post w/HVAC aluminum venting, the squirrels/raccoons can’t get a grip. At the top of the post, I drilled a hole, inserted a metal bar (making a “T”) & hung several feeders from that bar. This feeder is great. They love it! I have about 10-12 species of birds visit my back yard. Our neighborhood is heavily wooded, so we have lots of breeds of birds you don’t usually see like Woodpeckers, Cedar Waxwings, Eastern Bluebirds, Goldfinches, tons of Cardinals, Bluejays, Robins. That’s just a partial list! You do need to tilt the feeder to encourage the Serbs to slide down toward the opening, but the birds can usually get at the seeds. I have noticed that rust has formed in different places on the feeder, but that’s to be expected. I love that it holds a LOT of seeds so I don’t have to get the ladder out to refill as often as I do for the other feeders. I highly recommend this feeder; but location, location, location is the key to keeping squirrels/raccoons away! I highly recommend this feeder.

Looks great!

Looks great! It's an adorable design. The adjustable weight perch helps keeps the heavy doves off and allow the lighter finch's to feast for a change. Squirrels will try to mess with it, but usually go to an easier snack spot. However one very determined squirrel was eventually able to pull off the roof, we lost the locking nut when that happened and aren't able to find a good replacement. But with a baffle it helps slow down the squirrels. Being metal it also lasts a lot longer in the weather and doesn't break if it falls.

Not squirrel proof.

Made well, but not squirrel proof by a long shot. Squirrels hang upside down from roof and feed away.

Thank you for this feedback. If squirrels are able to gain access to the roof of the feeder, then they are bypassing the weight activated perch. We recommend hanging the feeder in a way that prevents them from leaping onto the roof of the feeder.

Q&A

I purchased a version of this "Country House" bird feeder from Rural King on 12-24-2024. Overall, it's the same design. However, the roof and cardinal latching mechanism are different. The cardinal freely pivots to rest horizontally on the roof, and I can't see any means by which it can be fixed in the vertical position and stand like a weathervane, as is the intention. Also, the roof latching mechanism lacks the stop tabs that are apparent in the video on this website, so it doesn't lock as securely. I'm guessing I've purchased some old stock of a since improved upon design. I'd appreciate any guidance or replacement parts that could make this birdhouse fully functional.
Thanks, Jon

One additional question that I forgot in the previous email. Is the small pole mounting bracket supposed to be included inside the birdhouse? I see that it is included in the video on this website, however my birdhouse did not have one included.
Thanks, Jon

The weather vane keeps falling down. How can I fix that? A cotter pin? What point should I move the lever on the left side to stop squirls?
Question by: Gay Tushingham on Mar 20, 2025, 6:03 PM
Thank you for contacting us with your question. If you have the new version, simply press down on the ceiling and adjust it into place. For the older version, it does not remain in a rigid position.

To adjust the sensitivity on the left side, lower the adjustment pin to increase tension, or raise it to a higher slot to decrease tension.
Answer by: Rachel (Admin) on Mar 21, 2025, 5:26 PM
The perky-Pet Country Style feeder does not give any information on where to set the spring to keep out larger birds. Other brands give more information including the weight of different birds. This is really disappointing since it was very expensive. Please give the correct information for adjusting the spring. Thanks.
Question by: Katie keane on Mar 22, 2025, 4:22 PM
Thank you for contacting us with your question. To adjust the squirrel-resistant setting and increase the tension, simply lower the adjustment pin. If you wish to decrease the tension, raise the pin to a higher slot position.
