Birds Choice Classic Bird Feeder with Built-In Squirrel Baffle and Pole - Green

I am so excited to finally have a true squirrel proof bird feeder. I almost gave up on feeding the song birds because the squirrels were eating most of the bird seed and, even bird seed is expensive these days. This bird feeder is made of high quality material. I'm sure the birds and I will enjoy it for years!!

The Backyard Chirper is the best bird feeder I have ever tried, and I have tried many. It is truly squirrel proof, if you don't place it close enough to a tree to jump on. It holds a very generous amount of seed, so you don't have to fill so often. It gets five stars from me.

This feeder is a bird lover's dream, and the birds love it, too! The built-in baffle on the pole is a great feature and the squirrels definitely cannot eat the seeds as long as you don't put it near a tree where they can jump onto it. Another great product for bird lovers!

This bird feeder works great. At first I thought the pole was too short and the racoons would find a way up the pole, but that isn't the case. It's just the right height. It was easy to put in the ground. The birds love it and we get to watch them eat while we are in our family room. It's enjoyable.

The "Bird feeder with Built-In Squirrel Baffle and Pole - Green" has been in use for about 2 months and it is the first bird feeder that I have used that lives up to the description "squirrel proof"! The squirrels stay on the ground. Another set of perches and feeder ports would be nice if possible.

We've had no luck with other 'squirrel-proof' feeders before but this really works!

It is fabulous. I have a hard time keeping it full but the squirrels can't get to it.

This squirrel proof feeder DOES KEEP THE SQUIRRELS OUT. It is quite funny to watch them try to get in it. As smart as they are they can't get in it.

Very pleased. The size is good and it is more pleasing to the eye than some other squirrel proof feeders. Fun to watch the birds succeed and the squirrels fail!

Hi, I'm writing this review because I've contacted Birds Choice directly and have not heard back. First, the Birds Choice Classic bird feeder with Squirrel Baffle and Pole does exactly what it claims. Squirrels don't bother with it and all kinds of birds enjoy using it. In my yard, it is most popular with the finches because it is in a quiet area far away from a platform feeder that attracts larger, flocking birds like starlings and blackbirds. Mourning doves enjoy the seeds that fall to the ground. For me, it functions as a backup feeder that I don't have to fill everyday and gives me some peace of mind when I go away for the weekend. But, I wouldn't recommend having only one kind of feeder unless the only reason you are feeding birds is your own viewing pleasure. Now, for the bad. I just washed my feeder in dish soap and hot water and the finish came off. The green enamel is now dull and streaked. The feeder still works just fine, but looks terrible and since it was relatively expensive and is visible from my back patio where we entertain, I'm not happy about it. I don't care what my other feeders look like. I do remember this feeder came with unusual care instructions, but I can't find them now. Still, you should be able to wash a feeder with soap and water.
