We bought this feeder because it said it would also keep squirrels and nusiance birds (grackles, etc.) from eating al the feed. Well...it took the grackles about two days to figure it out and now they empty it in about an hour, even after removing all the counter weights. If you only have squirrel problems, this feeder works great. If you also have grackle and jay problems, forget it...get something cheaper.

Purchased this as xmas gift. Have tried everything directions said to keep squirrels at bay. Here in new hampshire squirrels are awful smart, I guess. At any rate they quickly learned that when they jump on it, it spills seed and they got it. Smaller red squirrels actually went inside and ate seed!! I wouldn't recommend this feeder. Maybe i'll get a video of the fun and send it in.

I live in North Central Florida and have 2 Roller Feeders and they absolutely are squirrel proof. I've looked for over 20 years for a feeder that the squirrels won't empty and this is it. It's hilarious to see the squirrels jump or climb down to it and see them fall to the ground. It only takes a couple of falls for them to stay clear. Now all the feed goes to the birds.

We purchased the original rollerfeeder several years ago and it has been 100% squirrel proof and then some - also stopping grackles, cowbirds, and crows in our area - they used to devour seed in our old wood and trap-door feeders along with squirrels of course. We even have an occasional raccoon come by and it has prevented them too - can't say enough about this unit - it rolls and spins! when they jump on if you can believe that. The newer model rolling feeders are a lot different than the one shown and made by different companies, they have wire perches and a rigid steel grid that surrounds the feed area on both sides and steel birdseed containers - which is what we have. look by searching original roller feeder or original rolling feeder - we first found it by searching squirrel proof feeders. good luck out there.
