This is a great whole peanut feeder.It is attractive and functions well.It takes two to three days for the jays and squirrels to empty it.It is a little difficult to fill it.

Product Description:
Peanut in the shell feeder, when we want excitement at the feeding area, fill up and watch blue jays go crazy between the nut hatches, titmice and re-bellies, chickadees and of course the squirrels. 1-inch coated steel mesh. 13-1/2 " x 11-1/2-inch by 11-inch Stovall products feature all cedar construction, stainless steel and dichromate plated screws, washers, hooks and chains, hand sanded, assembled with screws, many products coated with wood protector which accents the wood grain and the natural warmth of cedar. Environmentally green practices - hand sorted down graded lumber. The Shop is heated with scrap wood, cooled with natural shade and insulation, nestled in a glen among 25+ acres of beech/maple/oak forest. Rumored staffing of woodland gnomes with a payroll of nuts and berries is still not factual.

Perky Pet 395 10 inch Sunflower Seed and Peanut Feeder, 1.25 lb capacity Review

For 7 weeks now I have been using this little black plastic feeder with its study metal top.I had filled it halfway with unshelled raw peanuts and halfway with shelled pistachios.It is now almost empty and ready to be filled again.I don't have a lot of birds that come to my yard, but have at least two Chickadees that visit this feeder at least twice daily - they seem to enjoy a few bites of suet, a few bites of peanuts or pistachios from this feeder, and then on they go to the tube feeder for some seed mix. So I have all types of feeders and am not sure if this feeder alone would pull the birds in or not.I have also occasionally seen a Carolina Wren or a Downy Woodpecker at this feeder (when it is more full).Sometimes I see a squirrel spending about 5 minutes to (I guess) lick the peanuts since he can't pull the peanuts through such little holes (unless he is breaking them somehow into smaller pieces).The squirrels seem especially aggressive this season - one broke another feeder but I don't see any way they can break this one - it is built pretty tough.

The reason I gave it only 4 stars is because it didn't come with instructions on how to use the lid so I had to figure that out for myself - it simply lifts straight up on the metal inverted U-shaped bar - pull the inverted U-shaped bar up as far you can first. Then after filling, you just push the lid back down leaving the bar all the way up still.The lid does not lock down and that bothered me at first, but so far no squirrel has been able to lift up the lid despite making several attempts to do so - the bar expands outward some so adds some pressure I guess.I hung it over a small tree limb by forcing the tree limb through the opening of the inverted U-shaped bar. Not sure if this was how I was suppose to hang it but it works for me.

I like being able to offer peanuts and pistachios and have them last a good long while.Since I offer seeds and suet by other means, I think of this as just an "extra snack" feeder which might attract some birds to my yard that I have not seen before.Birdwatching is a hobby of mine and I think if the birds did not enjoy eating from this feeder (even though it may be a bit "challenging") they wouldn't keep coming back.

Squirrel Proof Accent Select Bird Feeder, Green Review

Squirrel Proof Accent Select Bird Feeder, Green

This is the best squirrel proof type of bird feeder there is - as far as I have been able to determine in several decades of trying to find such an article.I have owned many other types, including the Hertitage green metal monster weighted-perch feeders.I don't know how stupid your squirrels are, but here they just hang by one foot from the hanger or the perch jointof the Heritage feeders and stick their heads into the slot, holding the feeder open with their fat necks while they gorge themselves.Poles don't stop them.Greased poles don't stop them.Silicone spray and WD-40 don't stop them.They just keep working at it until they wear the stuff out.

This style of feeder, where the feeder itself is inside a substantial baffle, is the closest thing to squirrel proof I have found.I own several in different sizes.To successfully deter squirrels, look for these features:The baffle should be far enough from the tube or feeder that a squirrel absolutely cannot reach the feeder within.Ideally there should NOT be a tray on the bottom of the feeder.Spilled seed should be able to fall through to the ground for the ground feeding birds.If there is a tray, squirrels will just keep coming back for the seed they can reach near the edge, and so they will hang on the feeders preventing birds from coming.

Lately my squirrels have figured out how to chew the top of the plastic feed tube that extends above the baffle, just under the metal cap, until they open up the entire top of the feeder.If the manufacturers would fit a metal ring around the top of the feed tube, they could make this feeder even more squirrel-"proof".

Anyone who succeeds in devising a truly squirrel proof platform or perch type feeder should be awarded some kind of Nobel Prize!

Product Description:
If you're involved in a battle of wits with a squirrel, then this Squirrel Proof Peanut Feeder is for you. It's guaranteed to defeat the most determined of bird feed raiders. It has a simple yet very effective mechanism that uses gravity to protect feeder contents. When the squirrel approaches from above and attempts to climb on to the feeder, the body weight of the animal lowers a protective sleeve, which covers the feed. The peanut feeder has two ports and two perches with a clear polycarbonate tube. Of high strength and quality construction, the feeder is manufactured from stainless steel and aluminum, the sharp teeth of a squirrel do not stand a chance. There is a strong steel hanger and suspension clip.
