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 Houses

Bird houses and nesting boxes are specially designed shelters that provide birds with a safe place to nest, rest, and raise their young. These structures are built to mimic the small cavities found in trees, which many bird species rely on for protection from predators and harsh weather. Our bird houses include features such as ventilation holes, predator guards, and innovative designs that make cleaning and maintenance a breeze. By installing a bird house in your back yard, you can welcome species such as bluebirds, wrens, and chickadees to find shelter during breeding season. For those who enjoy birdwatching, a birdhouse creates an opportunity to observe nesting behaviors and fledglings up close. To enhance your back yard bird habitat and attract a wider range of birds, consider offering food or water with a bird feeder or a bird bath nearby your new nesting box.

Types of Bird Houses

While certain styles of bird houses may attract various species, others are tailored to increase the chances of attracting a particular type of bird. Bluebird houses typically feature a 1 ½ inch entry hole, perfect for preventing larger birds from accessing the shelter. Small songbirds such as chickadees, wrens, and titmice will occupy houses with entries as small as 1 ⅛ inch, tight enough to exclude bluebirds from competing with them. Woodpecker houses contain a deeper cavity space, accessible by a larger entry hole of about 2 ½ inches. Some birds, such as hummingbirds and robins, prefer an open nesting shelf rather than a traditional bird house.

Our collection of bird houses features products built from various materials, including durable wood and eco-friendly recycled plastic. Bird houses constructed from these materials are built to last for years to come, with aesthetic options to suit any back yard bird habitat.

Birdhouse Maintenance

Regular maintenance is key to ensuring that your birdhouse remains safe and appealing to birds year after year. It is important to clean out old nesting materials after each season to prevent parasites from harming future occupants. Many birdhouses in our collection feature panels that open to make this process much easier. Non-toxic cleaning solutions can also help to extend the life of your birdhouse and keep it even safer for birds.
