Historical note: In 1969 Peter Kilham developed the A-6F
tubular bird feeder leading to a new approach in bird feeding. Sadly, this breakthrough
design has been discontinued by the manufacturer.As an artist, engineer and inventor, Kilham cared about using quality materials and innovative design to create a feeder that birds loved and people found easy to use. So why would current management drop one of the best selling feeders ever created? The functional simplicity of the A-6 preserves its place as the standard in the industry...but it's now gone. So these days we have little choice but promote Aspect's brand tubular bird feeders (above). |

and Droll Yankees; both offer a Lifetime
Guarantee against manufacture defects, and squirrel damage. It pays to buy quality - it lasts. Made by American hands. |

Note:
enlarged view #2 above illustrates the feeder set-up which made this customer so very
happy: "Hi Louise! The feeder
arrived yesterday and within minutes of installing it, we had birds investigating and then
finding their way though the "fence". There's a big party going on out there now
and not a squirrel in sight! Thank you very much for your help in selecting the whole
system. It was so nice of you to send the sample food, too. It's been very well received!
We'll be back in touch when we're ready to "add on". It was a real pleasure to
work with you! All the best." Sheila Mc.

Need
a brush for cleaning? |
| Trying to save
bird seed for selective types of birds - trying to keep Blackbirds, Grackles, Starlings
out of your bird feeders? We recommend 3 different approaches - each has it's
merits: 1. type of food or seed offered - Thistle (niger) and Safflower, for example, do not appeal to squirrels. 2. baffles - a device to keep squirrels out of feeders; 3. Weight-sensitive perches protect seed from squirrels and large birds (see feeders shown below on this page! ) >> [ |

Cardinals prefer to grip a thick-textured perch and, because it's awkward for them to turn their short necks to feed, they prefer to face their food source directly. The Squirrel Buster Plus™ Cardinal Ring System™ allows Cardinals to eat facing the seed from a secure and comfortable perch. $87.95 |
