Product Description

The Vari-Craft Bouncer has a simple, effective design that keeps squirrels, grackles, jays and starlings out of your seed supply. The four counter-weighted perches will support all of the smaller songbirds and even most cardinals but the weight of squirrels and larger birds will cause the perch to collapse to an inaccessible position underneath the feeder. The undesirable guest is ejected. Powdercoated zinc diecast top and bottom with stainless steel roof clips. 5" diameter x 18" long lexan tube provides large seed capacity while preventing squirrels from hanging off the roof and reaching the seed ports. No shocking electric charge. No batteries required. No springs.

No Squirrels, No Kidding.
Great Bird feeder. It is big, and the squirrels hate it. They don't even bother after a while. Quality is superb. I have tried everything, and this thing works. I got it at Sears for 37 bucks (on line). Get two before they realize the priced it wrong.

I have tried them all and this is by far the best squirrel prof feeder I have found.My brother in law has one also with the same success.It also keeps the heavier(grackles,blue jays) out so the smaller birds can enjoy.The birds absolutely love it,and the squirrels can eat the left over on the ground.I rate this an A+

Prior to purchasing this product, I did a lot of research on squirrel proof feeders. None seemed to really do the job, and I agree with others that 100% squirrel proof is probably not possible. But after just a few days, my squirrels (grey and red) seem to have given up. They get on the top of it, and there is no place for them to go except onto the ground, as the tube that holds the feed is very long and they cannot reach the perch/feed holes. Gone also are the large blue jays and grackles. They did not even try to feed from this. Even chipmunks have given up. My only concern was that my larger grosbeaks and cardinals would not be able to perch, but so far so good. This is a large, heavy product and looks like it will easily handle the winters. I will update this review if the squirrels figure out how to feed from it. GREAT PRODUCT!!!
