Preserve Feeder
Here’s another variation on the cage around a tube feeder, the Preserve squirrel-proof bird feeder.
It is very similar to some of the other bird feeders, a tube feeder surrounded by a cage.
What sets this one apart? Well, for one, the cage has a diamond-shaped pattern and a gentle curve of the rows. Visually it is quite attractive.
Here are some things to think about.
Pro It is very attractive to look at.
There are no batteries to replace or charge.
It has no moving parts, so it won’t fail to keep squirrels off during a freezing rain or other harsh weather.
The size of the cage keeps large birds out, such as crows and pigeons.
Con
As with all tube bird feeders, the bird seed near the bottom tends to get soggy in inclement weather.
The size of the cage also keeps out medium-size birds. All but the smallest can fit, such as chickadees and finches.
The feeder has a dish at the bottom to catch seeds. It doesn’t take squirrels long to figure out they can hang upside down and eat the seeds that have collected.
