Brome 1055 Squirrel Buster Mini
Product Description
The Squirrel Buster Mini is guaranteed to be squirrel proof. Openings in the bottom of the metal mesh shroud are aligned with the seed tray and allow birds access to the seed. When a squirrel climbs onto the feeder, its weight automatically forces the shroud down, closing access to the seed tray. Squirrels are shut out but not harmed in any way. The negative grip tube is part of our patented technology. It prevents squirrels from grabbing the wire hanger with their hind legs, hanging down alongside the feeder, and defeating the closing mechanism. Both perching and clinging birds love this feeder. The seed ports have perches for the perching birds but the metal mesh shroud also offers a large clinging area. Because of the combined perching and clinging surfaces, you will find an enhanced level of bird activity with the Squirrel Buster Mini. The feeder also features a patented Seed Tube Ventilation System to keep birds healthy. 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 Mini permits humidity and hot air to escape through vents at the top of the feeder. The escaping hot air is replaced with fresh air entering the seed ports and openings on the bottom of the seed tube. The seed stays fresher and attracts more birds.

Brome 1055 Squirrel Buster Mini Reviews
| 57 of 58 people found the following review helpful  Squirel buster mini - works well with one condidtion, By This review is from: Brome 1055 Squirrel Buster Mini (Lawn & Patio) I purchased this product because the squirles were eating all my bird seed. I was happy with the product and it was easy to assemble, fill and hang. My only complaint is that in order for it to be 100% squirel proof it needs to be hung at least 18 inches from the nearest post. My hanger only has about 12 inches of clearance, so it's not 100% squirrel proof in my situation, but it still cuts down on the amount they can reach, and my seed that used to be gone in 2 days has lasted over 2 weeks now. It would have been helpful to have that stipulation on the outside of the box instead of only on the insert inside the bos, or else I would have taken that into consideration in my purchase. On the whole I am happy with the purchase. 50 of 53 people found the following review helpful  Sorry, it's just not squirrel-proof, though it might be with a little help, By This review is from: Brome 1055 Squirrel Buster Mini (Lawn & Patio) I've watched squirrels for a long time and they are remarkably clever little devils, their inability to avoid speeding cars on city streets notwithstanding. Despite the real thought that has gone into designing this feeder at least one of the critters in my back yard managed to defeat it fairly easily. He simply hung down from the crossbeam to which it was attached, grabbed the entire feeder and shook the bird feed out of it onto the ground. The contents were gone within a day and the birds got very little of it.Now, what I'm planning to try to foil this animal is to extend the hanger by attaching a very thin wire to it, which is what will actually hang from the beam. If all goes according to plan, the squirrel will then not be able to reach the body of the feeder to shake it, and the extender wire will be too thin for him to use it to climb downward. We'll see if it works... In the meantime, I note these other drawbacks: the metal loops that serve as bird...

We've had lots of gold finches, chickdees, etc. The larger birds, especially the Blue Jay, don't bother with the feeder. We've even had cardinals at this one, although it may be a bit compact for the larger ones. In design, it's nice. It is small, so it doesn't hold as much feed as maybe we would like, but what it does hold ends up primarily in the tummies of the birds, instead of the squirrels. The crook of the rod that holds the feeder upright has rusted a bit, and I wasn't pleased about that, but it hasn't impacted the performance of the feeder, and I think it would take a very, very long time to rust through. There is no visible rust on the outside of the feeder. Squirrels are thwarted,... Read more |
