The Perky-Pet® Squirrel-Be-Gone® Bird Feeder combines innovative squirrel-resistant features with attractive design to create a feeding station that is truly unparalleled. The weight-activated cage keeps squirrels from accessing ports, while the metal helps to resist damage from chewing. With its rustic powder coating and decorative leaf-themed design, this feeder will make a charming addition in any backyard setting. Simply hang using the convenient built-in hanging cord!
Resists Squirrels
To offer defense against squirrels, this feeder boasts multiple great features. First, this feeder’s weight-activated system is calibrated to support the weight of birds but not squirrels. When squirrels try to gain access to the perches, the cage is pulled down, causing the decorative leaves to cover the ports. In addition, the metal cage prevents squirrel chewing and damage.
Accommodates Multiple Birds
With less competition from squirrels, birds won’t be able to resist the Perky-Pet® Squirrel-Be-Gone® Feeder! It features six feeding ports evenly spaced around the reservoir so multiple birds can dine at the same time and you can enjoy a better view. Plus, birds will enjoy taking a break on its comfortable U-shaped perches.
Attractive Rustic Design
Birds and bird lovers alike can’t deny the charm of this delightful feeder. The metal cage is adorned with a leafy design that will look at home in any yard. In addition, the metal is finished with a powder coating to enhance the rustic look, while also ensuring rust resistance.
Never Run Out of Seed
When you have hungry visitors in your backyard, you can’t risk running out of seed! For your convenience, the Perky-Pet® Squirrel-Be-Gone® Feeder features a clear plastic seed reservoir capable of holding up to 2 lb of seed. The clear design makes it easy to monitor seed levels at a glance so you never run out during peak feeding times.

I have defeated the squirrels with small straps of duck tape starting just at the top rim and down the sides an inch or two. The inside spring fell apart and I got a 4 piece package of 2 inch springs from Lowes. This worked well. The feeder is back in action. The exterior springs may be replaceable at the hardware stire also but I have not needed to. I put a piece of duct tape over the placement on the exterior springs to secure them. Wire might work as well.

Duct tape stops squirrels. After fighting the pesky persistent squirrels, losing or damaging the springs, I received two replacement feeders under the one year warranty. But I have finally figured out how to outsmart the squirrels. After filling the feeder, use a piece of duct tape across the top and past the sides of the cover. The squirrels can't figure out how to pull the tape off so they cannot yank the top off and damage the springs. They can't figure out how to get the food as the feeder functions as expected. The tape also prevents them from trying to chew on the inner plastic seed chamber. I replace the feeder about once a week and clean up/refill another one ready to hang on the tree.
We're sorry to hear that this happened. Replacement springs are not available for this feeder. It has a one year replacement policy. Reach out to us via the Contact Us page with any questions.

I have had one of these feeders for 3 years now. I did put a baffler over just to keep the squirrels from constantly jumping on it and driving my dogs crazy.
The only thing I wish is that I could buy a new internal sleeve, as the plastic has begun to become cloudy, and apparently my birds for the most part want to see the seeds. The large red headed woodpecker doesn't seem to mind.
I just bought another one to replace a different style birdfeeder that was about worthless. The new one did come out of the box with one of the springs popped-off. I did fix but I hope this is not going to be a new constant issue like others have mentioned. I have not had any problems with my first one, but I know owning my own business since covid you just can't get quality materials to work with like we did before.
Thank you for sharing this feedback. We're sorry to hear that this happened to your feeder. Replacement parts are not available for this model. It has a one year replacement policy. Reach out to us via the Contact Us page for additional assistance.

I purchased two of these and the squirrels have chewed a hole in the plastic and broken the springs so that the outside doesn't stay upright for the birds. I have no problem with the second one but it's also not hanging on a tree. Our squirrels just have super duper teeth apparently.

Have had mine for about 2 years. The springs popped off once, but reattached them. Seems ok now. The springs go inside the decorative layer.
After 2 weeks, the squirrels popped the spring latches. I contacted perky pet and they sent me a replacement. I got a newer model and it is an improvement compared to the previous one I had. I am hoping the squirrels will be less likely to damage this one. I am not against feeding the squirrels, but they should stay on the ground. Seems like model 102 works better, even though I am baffled at how to clean the inner tube. At least the birds flock to model 102 more.
Very satisfied, long term, Squirrel-Be-Gone feeder user.

Wow, I'm surprised this product hasn't been rated highly! I've been using these feeders for years with happy success. Perhaps what's different in my case is I have squirrel feeders right nearby, so EVERYONE eats! I've given one to my friend who has lots of squirrels; she had a popped spring, and it was a simple 3 minute fix! I'll buy these squirrel-resistant feeder again and again. They last several seasons too. One of mine is starting to rust after about 4-5 years. It's still in use, but I'll get a new one soon since it's certainly done it's job. Thank you, Perky-Pet people!!
I think the cardinals are having trouble with this feeder. It looks like when a cardinal is on the perch the bird’s body blocks the port. Can you confirm that the feeder is not designed for birds larger than sparrows and finches?
Question by: Bill Akerley on Jan 29, 2022, 10:01 AM
This feeder is best used for chickadees, finches, nuthatches, titmice, and other similarly sized birds.

Press down on the cage and then lift the lid off and to the side. It is connected by a spring on the underside of the lid.
