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).

It pays to buy quality - it lasts. Made by American hands.

weight sensitive feeders
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! ) >> [top]
Squirrel Buster Plus™ weight sensitive shroud closes seed ports when squirrels and large birds land on perches. Made from rugged UV-filtered ABS and Polycarbonate resins and powder-coated aluminum components. Hangers, springs and fasteners are stainless steel. Can be easily disassembled by hand, without tools for cleaning, and is even dishwasher safe. Exclusive seed tube ventilation. User-controlled weight-adjustable settings. 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	Import Alert: this product is manufactured in China

J.J.'s Feeding Tip for tube feeders We hear it nearly every day: larger, heavier crows, pigeons, mourning doves, starlings, jays and grackles monopolize your tube feeders...squirrels damage your equipment and devour seed intended for songbirds. Sound familiar? Seeking a solution? Here are just two of many approaches you can take: 1. Weight sensitive perches...not a new concept; we've carried several hopper style feeders for years which automatically close/shut seed ports when something heavy lands on it. They are solid and quite effective. Recently, a flood of products have come to market designed to accomplish the same thing on a tube-style feeder. We dropped the Droll Yankees line-up (Whipper, Dipper, Tipper & Flipper) due to their slow rate of sale. Squirrel-Buster from Brome Bird Care has been field-tested in my haven, and worked well. We typically have 'em in stock to satisfy demand, and the new Squirrel Buster "Classic" is a great buy; Squirrel Buster Mini is even less! Another favorite...if stranded on the proverbial deserted island I'd wanna' have the Birds Choice Second Nature Fly-Thru. 2. Alter type of seed offered - the small seed commonly called Thistle (niger or Guizotia abyssinica) appeals to finches and chickadees; feeders used to offer the seed typically have short perches making it difficult for larger birds to land. Thistle seed is not favored by squirrels. We lean heavily toward Aspects brand tube feeders but also carry select feeders from Droll Yankees like their Onyx feeders - model #DYCC24N (above). Onyx is especially durable with it's metal seed port covers and U-shaped perches. "Bright White" Safflower also does not seem to be attractive to most squirrels. Increasingly we're selling more and more Safflower each day for good reason! (J.J. also uses organic NutraSaff™ but notices the squirrels do nibble a bit of this variety.)
