Perky-Pet® Squirrel-Be-Gone® III Bird Feeder

Attract a variety of wild birds to your backyard with the Perky-Pet® Squirrel-Be-Gone® III Bird Feeder. Make your home the delight of your feathered friends with enough perches for the whole flock. The metal frame features carved leaves and is coated in a rustic deep brown finish to withstand the elements while retaining a dull shine. To offer defense against squirrels, this feeder offers a weight-activated Seed Shield™ so squirrels can’t gain access to the seed supply. In addition to its squirrel-resistant features, the Squirrel-Be-Gone® III is also a favorite of birds. This feeder will make a charming addition in any backyard setting.

Squirrel-Proof Seed Shield

Squirrel-Proof Seed Shield™

To offer defense against squirrels, this feeder boasts multiple great features. First, is the feeder’s weight-activated Seed Shield™, which is calibrated to support the weight of birds but not squirrels. When squirrels try to gain access to the perches, the ornamental leaves close off the ports under their weight. Birds can sit on every perch without activating it. In addition, the twist-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! 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.

Attract More Birds

With less competition from squirrels, birds won’t be able to resist the Perky-Pet® Squirrel-Be-Gone® III Bird Feeder! It features nine feeding ports with U-shaped perches so multiple birds can dine at the same time and you can enjoy a better view. In addition, this 8 lb capacity feeder has multiple chambers, allowing you to place different seed types in each portion to attract a greater variety of birds.

Attractive, Rustic Design

Easy to Use and Clean

The Squirrel-Be-Gone® III comes fully assembled and ready to hang in your garden or on a tree. To fill, just twist off the top lid and pour in your preferred seed type.

I am not happy for ...

Jun 4, 2023
I am not happy for the price we paid. When filling with seed it pours out the large ports. As the birds feed, half the seed ends up on the ground. So, guess what? The squirrels get fed by just waiting for all the seed to fall out the overly large ports. I'd like to get a different feed but, we put out way to much on this one to turn around and buy another. I can't help but, wonder if the ports were put in wrong??? It just seems to empty to the ground within a very short time and 90% of the feeding of birds & squirrels happens on the ground.

Chewed ports ruined great feeder.

May 29, 2023
Chewed ports ruined great feeder. Love the feeder, love lots of feeding ports, works as stated when squirrels actually jump on it. HOWEVER, while filling yesterday, one of the columns just started pouring out all the seed. That's when I noticed the entire plastic port was missing on the top hole for that section. I filled up the other two sections, and only filled the one with the missing port to below the top hole missing the port. A few hours later, one of the two full sections was way down, but other wasn't. I went out, port was now missing on a second section. Eventually found the ports below, and noticed the bottom part of the circle was completely broken. I checked the third top port, and it's damaged, hasn't fallen out yet. I couldn't figure out why only the top ports were damaged. Then I read all the other reviews about squirrels hanging from top and destroying the ports. That explained why only the top port, didn't occur to me but makes perfect sense. We've done great for years w/o squirrels even trying to get on the feeder, but for some reason was have some new ones in past couple of week who are ignoring or usual deterrents. I've seen one hanging from top, so that's likely the culprit. I've read the suggestions for where to put up the feeder so squirrels can't jump on it, not sure I really have any place in my yard that will work. I'll have to go back and amp up the other deterrents.

First, big grey squirrel hangs upside down from rim and top perches and chews threw plastic at base of feeder freeing seeds. Secondly, this activity takes multi attempts which unscrewed the feeder from the lid and feeder support and entire feeder falls to the ground. Squirrels 1, dft 0. this only took squirrels 1 month to figure out.

Junk.

Sep 25, 2022
Junk after just a few months of ownership. They used plastic inserts where the birds eat. These inserts provide space for birds to eat and prevents food from coming out. Squirrels can easily chew on them although they can't get to the food. But when the inserts get damaged they prevent the cage from moving. In addition, when the inserts are damaged they spin around and the food just pours out. Waste of food, waste of my money in lost seed with the purchase of this feeder. Paid $55, don't waste yours. Replacing inserts would just be a temporary fix, they should be made out of metal, not plastic. Obviously the manufacturer didn't test it with squirrels for a long term evaluation.

I really like these feeders. However the squirrels chewed the plastic ports out. Do you sell replacement ports? These feeders are expensive and I shouldn't have to buy a new one. Thank you

Very disappointed in this particular feeder! No matter which sunflower seeds or bird seed blend I use, the seeds just leak right out of it all over the ground! It's so wasteful that I ultimately end up feeding the stupid squirrels anyway (which I spent a lot of money on this feeder to prevent!!) I have a smaller, older version of this style that works perfectly. Obviously there's a design flaw in this particular model.

Squirrel jumps 4 feet from tree to feeder. Repeated jumps to feeder then down to ground spins feeder and within 1 day the feeder drops to the ground leaving the top on the wire, but spilling the feeder and seeds on the ground which the squirrels eat.

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! 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. Feel free to give us a call at 855-737-5973 should you require additional assistance. - Rachel
Only 4 stars because it doesn’t work but customer service is great
4
Apr 13, 2022
I am only giving this 4 stars because like the other reviewers said the squirrels can chomp away at the port and then all the seed falls out. I wanted to see for myself how the squirrel can get at the port if the metal leaves slide down. I was really curious. Sure enough I hung my feeder 12 feet away from the trunk of the tree. But the squirrel would crawl down the branch onto the feeder. And yes the metal leaves do slide down and cover the ports. EXCEPT there is one leaf design I believe an “Oak” design that when it slides down the design of the leaf doesn’t cover the port entirely. Just that 1/3” opening is enough for the squirrel to chew away at the plastic port. Then the seed just completely falls to the ground. So they need to change either the leaf design or change the ports to metal. Perky pets is sending me a 1 time replacement which I thought was amazing. But you would think the company would rather change the design instead of sending out free replacements. The squirrel buster closes completely. But what I liked about perky pets design is you can fill more seed and the ports are wider than the squirrel buster which the birds love. Now if perky pet only changed their design! I am going to ask a welder if he can weld around the ports with sheet metal. We will see…
