The Buster Mini and its patented Squirrel Buster technology is truly squirrel proof.
Opening in the bottom of the metal mesh shroud are aligned with the seed tray and allow birds access to the seed. When a squirrel climbs onto the feeder, its weight automatically forces the shroud down, closing access to the seed tray. Squirrels are shut out but not harmed in any way. Measures 11" high and holds 1.3 lbs of seed.
