Electronic Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder FARM HOME Miscellaneous 21-6-37 This is the only "squirrel-proof" bird feeder on the market that really works, according to the manufacturer.
The feeder is powered by a 9-volt battery which sends a slight electrical charge to metal pads placed strategically around the feeder. The charge is equivalent to a static shock. It does not affect birds since their feet and beaks act as natural insulators. Squirrels, raccoons and other pest animals do feel it, however, and they hop right off.
Twenty-two in. tall, the feeder features 12 perches, a seed tray and three separate seed compartments that hold a total of 4 gal. of seed. The top comes off for easy filling and cleaning.
Battery lasts 1 year or 1,000 charges, the company says.
Sells for $129.95.
