Manufacturer's claims (from Perky-Pet)Show

HANGING BIRD FEEDER: This bird feeder is great for your yard
SQUIRREL PROOF BIRD FEEDERS FOR OUTDOORS - When a squirrel's weight is detected on the perch or metal frame, the feeding ports close
DURABLE DESIGN - The metal bird feeders are finished with a powder coating, adding to the rustic finish, and ensuring rust resistance for all-weather durability
BIRD ACCOMMODATION - Squirrel-proof bird feeders for outdoors have the preferred U-shaped perches
NEVER RUN OUT OF SEED - The clear reservoir makes it easy to monitor seed levels at a glance so you never run out during peak feeding times
