The Squirrel Buster Mini is guaranteed to be squirrel proof.

• The need for clearance:
• Remember it’s the squirrel’s weight that triggers the closing mechanism. If a squirrel can reach over from a nearby foothold and avoid placing weight on the feeder, he will have access to the seed ports. Allow for at least 16 inches or 40 cm of clearance around the feeder.
• This will force the squirrel to climb onto the feeder, thus triggering the closing mechanism.
• Negative Grip Tube™
• The negative grip tube prevents squirrels from grabbing the wire hanger with their hind legs, hanging alongside the feeder and defeating the closing mechanism.
• 2. Attach hanger
• 3. Fill your feeder and latch cover
• Fill the seed tube with up to 3 quarts/2.8 liters of seed. To close and latch the cover, align one of the dimples on the side of the cover with the yellow dot on the seed tube. Push down and rotate clockwise to the stop.
• 4. Adjust the closing mechanism
• Use the feeder with the factory setting before making any adjustments. A small red squirrel, 4 oz./115g, will trigger the closing mechanism at this setting.
• To increase the adjustment setting, rotate the transparent cartridge clockwise. The red line will move down from the previous setting. This increases the weight required to close access to the seed.
• To decrease the adjustment setting, turn the cartridge counter clockwise. The red line will move up from the previous setting. This decreases the weight required to close access to the seed.
• 5. The need for clearance
• Remember it's a squirrel's weight that triggers the closing mechanism. If a squirrel can reach over from a nearby foothold and avoid placing his weight on the feeder, he can access the birdseed. To overcome this problem, allow for at least 16 in./40 cm of clearance around the feeder. This will force the squirrel to climb onto the feeder and trigger the closing mechanism.

Squirrel Buster Mini™

The patented Squirrel Buster technology is truly squirrel proof.
Thousands of delighted bird lovers have confirmed it.

How it Works

Openings in the wire shroud align with seed ports and provide birds access to the seed. When a squirrel climbs onto the feeder, its weight automatically forces the shroud down, closing access to the seed ports. All squirrels and many large birds are foiled, but not harmed in any way.
Patented seed Tube Ventilation system™

Transparent seed tubes are like greenhouses, they trap solar energy. Traditional seed tube cover designs block the escape of heated air.

The patented Seed Tube Ventilation System in Squirrel Buster Finch, permits humidity and warm air to escape through vents at the top of the feeder.

The escaping air is replaced by fresh air entering through the seed ports.

The seed remains fresher and attracts more birds.
