Weather Guard Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder Review

Weather Guard Squirrel-Proof Bird FeederOne of my favorite types of squirrel-proof bird feeders is the cage feeder. It usually has a tube feeder surrounded by a metal cage that the squirrel can’t chew through, reach through, or outwit.

I like this type of feeder because it has no moving parts, no batteries, nothing to fail. It will work the same in the winter during an ice storm as it will in the summer on the nicest of days.

This particular feeder is called the Weather Guard Bird Feeder (also known as the Bird Sanctuary) and it has a couple of nice features.
First of all, the Weather Guard Bird Feeder has a weather guard overhang. This protects the feeder tube from rain. Tube bird feeders are especially prone to having the seeds at the bottom get soggy, so this is a great feature for this type of bird feeder.

The second nice feature of the Weather Guard Bird Feeder is that there is no dish to catch the seeds at the bottom. Although a seed-catching dish may seem like a good thing, I found by experience that the squirrel will just hang upsidedown on the feeder and eat the seeds from the dish.

Also, the spilled seeds on the ground will be eaten by ground feeders such as morning doves.
