*A note on Juvenile Squirrels and Juvenile Large Birds
This feeder protects against adult grey squirrels and large adult birds. Some birds do have longer beaks and will be able to get through the bars to the food for example a woodpecker.
Juvenile young squirrels and juvenile large birds could squeeze inside the bars and access the food. Young squirrels look similar to adults but are incredibly flexible and can get through very small spaces, they could gain access to this feeder. Squirrels are born in Spring and Summer, so you may well encouter this through the months March to August. This will also be the situation with young large birds such as juvenile crows, magpies etc. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee the feeder resisting these squirrels and birds.
A dash of chilli flakes added to the seeds or nuts will deter squirrels to a level, and can help protect your feeders from young squirrel damage. Chilli will have no effect on birds.
