Absolute II Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeders Green Heritage Farms 7536 Pole and Hanger Included

Excellent quality 👍👍👍👍👍
The squirrels here in RI are definitely BAFFLED 😊. Pun intended 😂😂😂

either I have the most intelligent and agile squirrels in North America or these are not really squirrel proof

This is a nice feeder and the metal is of sufficient gauge. However, it is not squirrel proof. It does slow the squirrels down, but doesn't stop them. Some of the seed comes out on the platform and the squirrels can access that pretty easily. But, I also saw a squirrel figure out how to let go of the lever long enough while holding onto other parts of the feeder to get a few seeds out. It is still helpful as it doesn't provide the squirrel buffet that other feeders provide and it slows the squirrels down quite a bit, but not squirrel proof. I have it hanging from a hook right now but may put it on its pole away from other structures and put a squirrel guard on the pole and see if that helps.

I have had this feeder for about 2 months, and the birds love it. By the way, I have to refill it! lol

We’ve tried everything to keep squirrels from eating from the bird feeders and spilling seed. So far, they’ve gotten on top of this feeder and when they press the bar, it closes. So it works as promised. I’ll be watching to see if the squirrels figure out another way. They’re welcome to eat what the birds spill but I want them off the feeder!

This feeder rocks! Not only is it squirrel proof........ but it is highly entertaining watching the furry critters attempt an assault. Once in awhile a squirrel will launch him/herself at the feeder pole and jostle some seeds loose.... but they haven't quite retained the thought that that method works. So I am confident in recommending this product to anyone with squirrel issues.It seems like the assembly would be idiot proof.... but I recommend reading the directions. And understand that the items included are ALL necessary for assembly before you throw things away ... (bought this as a gift for an older relative and had to give extra instructions over the phone! lol)Once the feeder is up... it is quite easy to refill it. The only issue I've had is that the perches are rather short and slippy so that larger birds aren't eating from the feeder. Once in awhile cardinals and rose breasted grosbeaks will..... and a grackle learned to hover and snatch a seed/nut and then land to eat.This is just one feeder I own, and it is one of my favorites and one that I am buying as gifts for family and friends.

I've had this feeder for several months. The birds all fight to get on the perches, and it holds a lot of seeds. It is the only feeder I have found that the squirrels have not compromised, and this includes the caged ones. The only reason for the 4 stars is that there are only 4 perches.

There is a lot to like about this feeder and nothing to dislike. For me the best is the amount of seed it holds and how well it attracts birds.

Exceptional service and delivery

Great feeder, fast shipping. Thanks J.C.s

Love this bird feeder. My squirrels are mad. Plus I put bird food in it which has pepper in it and the squirrels don't even come around but I have tons of birds. My only suggestion would be to make the pole sturdier. With the feeder full the pole leans.

It is very good and does a good Job keeping squirrels out

Great folks to do business with. Their products are first class!

Our squirrels challenge the feeder on most days. So far they have been unsuccessful and the feeder has endured their abuse. The default setting has worked well for enabling birds we like and discouraging the larger ones we do not. The smooth top makes it nearly impossible for a squirrel to hang from the top and access the food. So far, none have figured found the slim opportunity for their success.I wish we had an equally effective feeder for suet cakes.

I received this as a Christmas present.This is a very nice bird feeder and holds a lot of seed, so I don't need to keep filing it as often.That is, until the squirrel figured out how to outsmart the squirrel proof feeder. The plastic on the sides where you can see the seed, is so thin that the squirrel broke it in 3 spots and then the seed just poured out. He just sat there, holding onto the rail of the feeder, and easily grabbed whatever seed he wanted right out of the side of the feeder. Plexiglass would probably have been a better use than thin breakable plastic for the sides. I modified it with a metal screen mesh and it now works fine, but it is really not squirrel proof until modified by the purchaser. It was easier for me to modify it, than to return it and purchase something else.

Great feeder, this is my second one. It's entertaining watching the squirrels try to get in. They give up quickly and have to wait for the odd seeds that end up on the ground.

I am sad that the cardinals and Blue jays are to heavy for the feeder. I also have noticed that there are not birds at this feeder, yet.

Best on the market. 100% squirrel proof.

Great

I think the best part of these wild bird feeders (aside from the fact that they keep squirrels out) is watching the squirrels puzzle over the thing. They get so frustrated trying different strategies, but the Absolute II is just way too secure, so they usually end up fighting over what the birds leave behind on the ground. It's really fun to watch both squirrels and birds at the same feeder, even if it makes the squirrels a little huffy.

I have purchased this bird feeder for myself and for gifts for friends who have admired mine. I have watched squirrels try to figure it out for over fifteen years and enjoyed every minute of their frustration.You won't be sorry with this one. Money well spent.

For some reasons, very few birds are using this feeder. They use my other three cylinder feeders but few birds use this one. It is squirrel proof though!

The feeder is excellent and easy to fill. Right now the birds are in flux and not feeding as much so time will tell how well it performs.

Seems to be working fine. Easy to assemble. We have an older one that was damaged by a bear. It seems better built than the new one but this is still a good solid product. The post is easy to set up and the feeder seems secure on it. Finish seems well done too.

Picked this up as an upgrade to my old wood feeder. The feeder itself seems to be well made but the pole that comes with it is worthless. It is way to short and fits together loose, It wobbles way to much, so now I am shopping for a decent pole and that does not make my day :(

Really like this feeder. Keeps squirrels and raccoons out.

This feeder really foiled the starlings that were holding the food and scaring away the song birds.

Item had a good ding in it, on arrival. Didn't alter the usability. Most of squirrels kept away, but some figured out how to balance themselves beneath feeder and use one hand to grab food. It has slowed down the waste of feed and stopped their goreging themselves
