From the manufacturer
TRULY SQUIRREL-PROOF FEEDERS BUILT TO LAST!
Disposable products are no longer an option. All of our products are designed with our planet in mind: all parts are easily replaceable. The future of new products, manufacturing and the preservation of our planet must be linked to a vision of products made to last.
HOW IT WORKS
Openings in the shroud align with the feeding ports, providing birds access to the food. When a squirrel climbs onto the feeder, its weight automatically forces the shroud down, closing access to the ports. Squirrels and some large birds are foiled but not harmed in any way.
FEATURES
REMOVABLE PERCHES
The Squirrel Buster Finch can be converted into a clinging feeder only, by removing the perches. The absence of perches will help deter large nuisance birds from using the feeder.
FOR BOTH PERCHING AND CLINGING BIRDS
The seed ports have perches for perching birds and the wire shroud provides a surface area for clinging birds. This increases your bird traffic.
The Squirrel Buster Finch has 8 seed ports: 4 with perches and 4 without.
NEGATIVE GRIP TUBE
The Negative Grip Tube prevents squirrels from grabbing the hanger with their hind legs, hanging down alongside the feeder and defeating the closing mechanism.
CLEANING YOUR FEEDER
- Frequency of cleaning varies according to climate.
- Heavy bird traffic can increase the frequency of cleaning
- Washing by Hand. Wear Gloves!
- Dismantle and discard any accumulation of wild bird food.
- Wash by hand in warm soapy water and/or in 1/10 bleach solution.
- Make sure all components are completely dry before assembling.
- Warning: Bird droppings contain contaminants. Avoid skin contact.

NEED FOR CLEARANCERemember it’s a squirrel’s weight that triggers the closing mechanism. If a squirrel can reach over from a nearby foothold and avoid placing his weight on the feeder, he can access the birdseed. To overcome this problem, allow for at least 18 in/47 cm of clearance around the feeder. This will force the squirrel to climb onto the feeder and trigger the closing mechanism. |
BROME CAREShould you need a part covered under our Brome Care, we will happily provide it to extend the life of our products. |
NO TOOLS REQUIREDAll our bird feeders are designed to be dismantled by hand into individual components without the use of tools. This allows for easy cleaning and maintenance. |

BIRDS THAT ENJOY NYJER SEED
ABOUT NYJER SEED
Nyjer is an oily tasty seed that, unfortunately, dries out too fast in hot dry conditions or goes bad when exposed to moisture. When buying Nyjer, check that its color is still shiny and black. Brownish and dull-looking seeds are no longer fresh, and birds won’t touch them. Purchase only enough to last you no more than several weeks.

Product Description
Product Description
The Squirrel Buster Finch Bird Feeder is designed to keep squirrels at bay while attracting beautiful finches to your backyard. With 4 metal perches and 8 feeding ports, it accommodates multiple birds simultaneously. The 2.4-pound seed capacity ensures you won't have to refill frequently.
Amazon.com
Squirrel-proof bird feeder holds 1.4 quarts of bird seed. view larger Attracts a wide variety of both clinging and perching birds. view larger Patented Seed Tube Ventilation System helps seed remain fresher and attracts more birds. Negative grip tube prevents squirrels from circumventing the closing mechanism.
Brome 1016 Squirrel Buster Finch
Equipped with patented Squirrel Buster technology, this Brome 1016 Squirrel Buster Finch feeder offers an innovative design that attracts birds while keeping squirrels at bay. The bird feeder holds 1.4 quarts of bird seed, whether it's Black Oil sunflower seed (a good all-round birdseed) or other seed blends specific to your area.
The squirrel-proof bird feeder attracts a wide variety of clinging and perching birds including the American Gold Finch, the Chickadee, the Indigo Bunting, and the Purple Finch. The unit features a specialized nyjer/mix feeder for high-quality performance, and its innovative design means that eight birds can feed at the same time.
Squirrel-Proof / Chew-Proof
Openings in the wire shroud align with seed ports and provide birds access to the seed. When a squirrel climbs onto the feeder, its weight automatically forces the shroud down, closing access to the seed ports. All squirrels and many large birds are blocked from accessing the food, but are not harmed in any way.
The Closing Mechanism
The spring mechanism is calibrated at the factory to close at 4 ounces (115 g). The smaller red squirrels, as well as the larger gray squirrels, are shut out at this setting.
Negative Grip Tube
The bird feeder features a negative grip tube that prevents squirrels from grabbing the wire hanger with their hind legs and hanging alongside the feeder, defeating the closing mechanism.
Seed-Level Indicator
The bottom of the yellow center post cap marks the maximum seed level. Filling past this mark will impede the shroud from closing. Do not fill past this mark.
Patented Seed Tube Ventilation System
Transparent seed tubes are like greenhouses; they trap solar energy. Traditional seed tube cover designs block the escape of heated air. The patented Seed Tube Ventilation System in the Squirrel Buster Finch permits humidity and warm air to escape through vents at the top of the feeder. The escaping air is replaced by fresh air entering through the seed ports. The result: seed remains fresher and attracts more birds.
Place the Feeder Almost Anywhere
Position your feeder just about anywhere--without having to worry about those pesky squirrels. Hang the Squirrel Buster Finch over a window, in a tree, on a deck or fence, in your garden, on the side of your house, from a rain gutter, or over sliding doors to get great close-up views of your favorite birds. The bird feeder hangs easily with the use of a wall bracket, extension hook, or branch hook (sold separately).
Easy to Fill and Clean
The Squirrel Buster Finch dismantles for convenient filling, and cleans up easily by hand. Do not put it in the dishwasher; it is not dishwasher-safe.

One other amazing thing is that I had bought this finch version for my wife not realizing how small the holes are and that no other birds would be able to feed at it. I didn't return it in time so thought I was screwed. On a whim, I contacted the manufacturer to see if I could just buy a replacement for the inner tube to make it like the classic (both are the same except the tube). They replied within a day, and sent me the replacement tube within a week, and didn't charge me anything.
Great product--great company.
Update:
The Classic outer cage wasn't quite the same as the finch cage (but very close), so needed to take my angle grinder and knock out a few bars to make the holes available, which worked fine--birds had easy access, squirrels still couldn't penetrate.
HOWEVER!! I go out on my doorstep today and what do I find? A replacement Classic cage--no charge!! I can't believe this company. They have my unending loyalty and now I will look for opportunities to tell my friends about this product.
At first, I thought the birds would not take to it. Only a few brave or nosy finches picked at it once in a while. It took about a week for other birds to check it out but the male cardinals simply refused to try it despite the cardinal ring which you can install optionally. After 3 weeks, all birds were accustomed with the feeder and now I am wondering if it was really the squirrels stealing or wasting as much before because this feeder is empty in 3 days! We also bought the finch feeder if the same brand. I love the way these are assembled. You can disassemble easily and clean. And the best part: If a part breaks, you can get this particular part and don’t have to toss the whole feeder. Very nicely made and sturdy. These are made to last a long time. A small baffle protects the feeding ports from the rain and squirrels don’t stand a chance against the spring mechanism which will close the ports when too much weight is applied.
This feeder does baffle him, and he hangs on it for a good 10 minutes at a time. I can only assume he is studying it.
Pros: squirrel proof, birds like the many sides to perch upon, saves you a lot of money on food
cons: holes are tiny. Yes, I know it is a finch feeder, but I have had issues with those little seeds getting stuck and frustrating my finch friends. I solved the problem by drilling a few larger holes. It is also not as popular as the easy-to-break-into feeders, but I am definitely keeping it.

This feeder also makes it very hard for rain to get in and gunk up the seeds. Compared to my other feeder there's NO waste. That means less laying around to attract rodents.
My bird seeds costs are down 80%. There's no wasted seeds with getting wet, seeds don't get knocked loose to the ground, the Red-winged Blackbird isn't able to steal from this feeder and neither are the chipmunks. Plus this seed is sold in bulk at my feed store and cost 30% less then the wild finch seed I was buying AND they love it.
