Do you love birds, but find yourself plagued by squirrels? The Perky-Pet® Squirrel Stumper® Bird Feeder combines squirrel-resistant features with rustic design to create a feeding station that is truly unparalleled. First, there’s the twist-lock lid, which locks in place so squirrels can’t easily open the feeder and steal seed. This feeder also boasts a metal wire cage that creates a barrier around the ports making it harder for squirrels to gain access. In addition to its squirrel-resistant features, the Squirrel Stumper® is also a favorite of birds. The whopping eight feeding ports spaced evenly around the feeder provide plenty of room for multiple birds to dine at the same time.
Resists Squirrels
To offer defense against squirrels, this feeder boasts a few great features. First, is the feeder’s metal wire cage design. The cage creates a barrier around the ports which makes it harder for squirrels to access the seed, while giving birds an easily-gripped perching point to dine. The cage is made of metal to prevent squirrel chewing and damage. The lid twists firmly in place to prevent squirrels from accessing the seed through the top.
Eight Feeding Ports
With less competition from squirrels, birds won’t be able to resist the Perky-Pet® Squirrel Stumper® Bird Feeder! It features eight 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 be able to perch from a variety of angles around the ports thanks to the cage design.
Attractive Design
Birds and bird lovers alike can’t deny the charm of this delightful feeder. The cage is an attractive bronze color, giving it a rustic touch that will look at home in any yard. In addition, the metal is finished with a powder coating to ensure rust resistance for long lasting durability.
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 Stumper® Bird Feeder features a clear plastic seed reservoir capable of holding up to 3 lb of black-oil sunflower seed, mixed seed, safflower seed, and more. The clear design makes it easy to monitor seed levels at a glance, so you never run out during peak feeding times.

"Twist lock lid prevents squirrels from accessing the seed"...from product description
NO IT DOESN'T! Infuriating to spend this much money on a feeder specifically to deter squirrels, and the squirrels were apparently more clever than the designer. Squirrels had the top turned and off within hours. I've tried twist ties and duct tape to get it to stay in...nothing works. There needs to be a second groove or latch to make it squirrel proof. Once the top is off, the tube is a perfect size for the squirrel bodies to slide in and feast. It should be marketed as a squirrel feeder or squirrel game. And it's expensive! Please redesign product.
Thank you for sharing this feedback. We're sorry to hear that the squirrels were clever enough to figure out this feeder. These concerns have been shared with our Product Manager for review. Our products have a 30 day return policy. We recommend reaching out to your local retailer for assistance if you are looking for a return.

I is impossible to get the top off to fill the feeder.

It seems like it would be a good choice to keep the squirrels from getting to the bird seed, however it is nearly impossible to remove the locking lid in order to fill the feeder. Very frustrating. I tried every position could find and still could not get the top off to get the feeder filled with seed. Please help!!
We are sorry to hear that! The lid simply twists off for filling. It may be a bit more difficult to open at first, as it is factory sealed.

Does not deter squirrels.

Just purchased this feeder at Home Depot. Does not deter gray squirrels. They hang upside down and are able to access the bird seed. They also had the top cover off on day 2. Feeding ports should have been placed at multiple levels instead of only 2. Birds are not thrilled with this feeder. I am still on the hunt for a better bird feeder.
We appreciate your feedback regarding this feeder! It is designed to be resistant to squirrel damage. To keep squirrels off the feeder, we recommend hanging it at least 4 ft off the ground and 8 ft away from launching points. Please contact us at 855-737-5973 with any questions!

Good to feed birds. Also good to feed squirrels. They climb on and reach right in for seed.

a lie's in the name.

to call it a squirrel stumper is an insult to stumping. It was violated easily by squirrels within 2 days of it arriving. First they twisted off the lid. I used wire to keep it closed. Then they figured out to hang upside down and use their hands (which easily fit through the cage) to get the seeds out. They can also use their hands on the lower tray - to a welcome food source.
If it's name hadn't been such a lie, I wouldn't have minded, I mean - squirrels gotta eat too, but this product only stumps the dumbest of squirrels.
We're sorry to hear the furry thieves were undeterred! To help keep them away, we recommend placing feeders at least 4 ft off the ground and 12 ft away from launching points like trees. Please contact us at 855-737-5973 for additional tips, we're happy to help! -Kathryn

Bear proof?

I had this feeder for about 8 months and it did deter the squirrels but some managed to hang on and get seed from the tray at the bottom. However, I was pleased because they could not chew at the plastic parts they way they could with other feeders from this company. I did have trouble figuring out the lid--you have to turn it a bit and then SLIDE it out from under the wire parts. Last fall, the feeder was taken down and opened by our neighborhood bear (he is clever) and left lying empty in the woods nearby with NO DAMAGE! I was impressed! But over the winter, the plastic got brittle and wind blew the feeder down to the ground a few times. The plastic tube cracked and the center seam broke so that the whole plastic tube was loose and wobbly. I bought a second one to use this season since the price is not bad and the squirrels can not destroy the plastic tube. If I have to buy a new one every year, I do not feel that that is a big deal. I have up to 8 birds on the feeder at a time with a bunch more waiting in the tree branches. I fill it with black oil sunflower seeds.
Thank you for sharing this feedback regarding your feeder and how well it held up under the feisty animals paws. Our feeders have a one year replacement policy from the date of purchase. Reach out with any questions.

The wires at the top ...

The wires at the top opening are nothing like this picture, and it took me 2 hours to disassemble them and reassemble them in order to be able to take the top off. This is a terrible design. I should have never bought it.
We are so sorry to hear about this! This feeder is designed with a simple twist-off lid. The wires should not be disassembled in any way. The feeder is covered under a 30-day return policy and a 1-year replacement policy. Please contact us at 855-737-5973 for assistance.

Birds do not like this ...

Birds do not like this feeder!!!!!
The deer love tipping it an letting the seed spill out.
This is a much better deer feeder than bird feeder.
Also there is poor airflow so the seed gets moldy
DO NOT BUY!!!!
It can take time for hummingbirds to adapt to new food source. Try these steps to help introduce these tiny wonders to their newest nectar sipping spot:
Place or plant colorful flowers around the feeder (25 Flowers That Attract Hummingbirds)
Clean feeders at least once a week (more often during summer months)
Temporarily remove established feeder(s) until the new feeder is being utilized

Love the feeder. I have lots of birds at it every day. Hate the lid; I end up just sitting it on top. Fortunately I don't have a problem with squirrels.
