Great quality- love it!

High marks for the design. However, squirrels eventually find a way to grab on to the feeder in a way that negates the spring loaded feature that covers each feed hole while down. Even early on while effective, squirrels eventually tore off the metal guards covering the feeder holes and were able to easily access bird seed. I've had the feeder les than 6 months. Are the guards replaceable? I'm missing one as I inadvertently tossed out the first guard that was found on my grass not knowing it was a feeder part. The adhesive is not strong enough to keep the squirrels from their destructive ways. What I do like about the feeder is having the ability to hang a weighted object on the bottom perches between designated feeding windows, thereby reducing the amount of seed eaten in a given day.
Hi Michael, Thank you for your review of the Squirrel X X-4 Squirrel Resistant Bird Feeder. We are sorry to hear that you are dealing with some very intelligent, persistent and pesky squirrels. We would be happy to replace this feeder for you, free of charge. We will reach out to you via email to get that order placed for you. We appreciate your business and look forward to getting this resolved for you! The key to successfully keeping a feeder squirrel-proof is its placement. Squirrels are agile and are able to jump up to 8ft horizontally and 4ft vertically. For this reason, we recommend that feeders be placed 8ft away from any structures that they can climb on so that they do not reach across to access the feeding holes. It can be helpful to trim back and prune any nearby bushes or branches within 12ft of a feeder. We also recommend that feeders be placed higher than 4ft off the ground, preventing the squirrels from jumping and grabbing onto the bottom. If you are using a hook or pole, we recommend that the hook have at least a 16in distance from the pole. Placing a baffle on the pole or having a caged feeder will also help to ensure squirrel-proofing success. We hope this is helpful and again we will reach out to you via email to get that order placed for you. Thank you for flying with our flock!

The squirrels have figured this out. One full feeder emptied in one day.
Hi Barbara, Thank you for leaving a review of the Squirrel-X4 Squirrel-Resistant Bird Feeder with Push Button Top. Squirrels are so clever and relentless and it seems sometimes that they’re smarter than most other animals. One of the biggest challenges to feeding wild birds—our own challenge too—is deterring squirrels. We work on a daily basis to create quality products and cultivate good advice that will help us all win this fight. The key to successfully keeping a feeder squirrel-proof is its placement.
