Product Information
Full details
The Blue Pirate Squirrel Proof Nut Bird Feeder is an ideal choice for backyard bird enthusiasts who want to support local avian populations without losing expensive feed to squirrels or larger pests. Its primary benefit is a patented, secure locking mechanism that specifically protects peanut supplies for smaller birds, though users should note that persistent squirrels may still attempt to reach the feed, requiring careful placement in the garden for maximum efficacy.

What is the best way to clean the mesh?
Use warm soapy water and a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the mesh. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Does the pole mount come included?
The feeder is designed for hanging or pole-mounting, but a specific pole kit may need to be purchased separately depending on your setup.
Troubleshooting
Squirrels are still accessing the feed
Ensure the feeder is hung at least 6-8 feet away from any jump points like tree branches or fence lines.
Peanuts are getting damp or moldy
Clean the feeder thoroughly and ensure the lid is snapped securely shut after every refill; consider moving it to a more sheltered spot.
Birds are not visiting the feeder
Ensure the peanuts are fresh and the feeder is located in a quiet, safe area with nearby cover for birds to perch.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply find a sturdy location, hang or mount the feeder, and add fresh, high-quality bird peanuts. For care and cleaning, it is recommended to empty the feeder every few weeks to remove debris or stale shells. Use mild, soapy water and a soft brush to clean the mesh, ensuring it is completely dry before refilling with fresh nuts to prevent mold growth. The green finish can be wiped down with a damp cloth periodically to maintain its appearance.
