Are Brome bird feeders really squirrel proof?

Yes. Brome Squirrel Buster feeders use patented weight-sensitive technology that automatically closes seed ports when a squirrel's weight is detected, while allowing smaller backyard birds to feed freely. The shroud drops to block access — no batteries or adjustments needed.

Which birds use Squirrel Buster feeders?

Squirrel Buster feeders attract a wide variety of backyard birds including cardinals, finches, chickadees, nuthatches, woodpeckers, and sparrows, depending on the model and seed used.

What makes Brome feeders different from other bird feeders?

Brome feeders combine patented squirrel-proof technology, chew-proof construction, UV-stabilized weather-resistant materials, and tool-free disassembly for easy cleaning — features rarely found together in a single feeder.

Which Brome feeder is best for cardinals?

The Squirrel Buster Plus and Squirrel Buster Legacy are popular choices for cardinals, as they offer larger perches and ports that accommodate the cardinal's size and feeding style.

How do Squirrel Buster feeders work?

Squirrel Buster feeders use a weight-activated shroud mechanism. When a squirrel lands on the feeder, its weight causes the outer shroud to drop and cover the seed ports, cutting off access. When the squirrel leaves, the shroud rises and birds can feed again.

Are Brome feeders easy to clean?

Yes. All Squirrel Buster feeders are designed for tool-free disassembly, making them easy to take apart, rinse, and reassemble. Regular cleaning is recommended every 2 weeks to keep seed fresh and birds healthy.

Which Brome feeder is best for finches?

The Squirrel Buster Finch is specifically designed for Nyjer® seed and small finch species like goldfinches, pine siskins, and redpolls, featuring small ports sized for finch beaks.

Learn More About Bird Baths

Bird baths are simple yet essential structures designed to offer fresh water to birds and other local wildlife. Birds rely on fresh water for drinking and bathing, especially during hot, dry months, but also during the winter when other sources of fresh water are frozen over. Fresh water allows birds to properly preen their feathers, which keeps them clean, flexible, and primed for flight and insulation.

While many feeders and houses are designed to attract specific types of birds, birdbaths generally appeal to a wide variety of species. Most are designed with shallow areas and grippy, textured surfaces, allowing birds of all sizes to navigate comfortably around the water. A well-placed birdbath can become a favorite gathering spot for local and migratory birds alike, leading to a more diverse birdwatching experience. Consider placing a bath near your bird feeder station or bird house to provide a critical resource for your feathered friends.

Types of Bird Baths

Discover a variety of ways to offer fresh water to your birds, from classical pedestal style bird baths to baths with solar powered features. Some bird baths are designed to mount onto a wooden deck rail, bringing nature closer to your home than ever before. Others are built to be placed directly on the ground, mimicking natural water sources like puddles, which birds utilize for bathing in the wild. Innovative heated bird baths include built-in thermal devices, ideal for offering fresh, unfrozen water to your birds during the coldest months of the year. Our curated collection includes bird baths constructed from a variety of materials, from durable, eco-friendly recycled plastic, to weather resistant metals and aesthetically pleasing ceramics. Browse our collection to find the bird bath that best meets your own backyard birding needs.

Cleaning Your Bird Bath

This essential step can be as simple as periodically spraying your bath with a cleaning solution, then giving it a quick wipe-down with a brush. Specially formulated, non-toxic cleaning solutions are great for ensuring that your bird bath provides clean water without harming the local wildlife. Add a fountain, mister, or bubbler to keep the water moving, which attracts birds and prevents stagnation from occurring. Give the gift of health and joy to your birds by offering them a sparkling clean, reliable source of water year-round!
