  
The Cardinal may be the most
popular bird to feed and attract, especially in the eastern part
of the United States. Male Cardinals are known by their brilliant
red feathers and majestic crested heads. Female Cardinals, while
also beautiful, sport a more subtle dull reddish color. Cardinals
are a non-migratory bird and will stay in an area as long as food
and adequate shelter is available throughout the year. Cardinals
prefer bird feeders that are about 5-6 feet above the ground.
They will visit your feeder starting early in the morning and
they'll keep returning to it well into the evening. Since
Cardinals dine early in the morning and late in the evening, they
have plenty of time for entertaining you by singing all day long
while the other birds are taking their turns at your bird feeder.
Unlike many birds, both the males and females are very vocal and
will sing all year long. Sunflower seeds are a favorite food for Cardinals. They will
usually sift through the entire mixture of seeds to get to every
sunflower seed before starting in on the other seeds. They also
enjoy white proso millet and safflower seeds when they can't get
sunflower seeds.
Thousands of delighted customers (and well-fed Cardinals) confirm
that the patented Squirrel Buster PLUS™ bird feeder is
truly Squirrel Proof! Openings in the bottom section of the
feeder align with seed ports, providing birds access to the seed.
When a squirrel climbs onto the feeder, its weight automatically
forces the shroud down, closing the seed ports. Squirrels and
large birds are foiled but not harmed in any way. The Squirrel
Buster Plus™ breaks new ground with design features
available for the first time on any bird feeder. The Squirrel
Buster Plus™ can be used with or without the Cardinal Ring
System™, an optional posi-grip ring designed especially for
Cardinals. 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. These
Cardinal-friendly feeding features combined with a bush-level
location make the Squirrel Buster Plus™ very inviting to
our scarlet friends.
If you are tired of squirrels raiding your bird feeder, the
Squirrel Buster Plus is your answer. This high quality feeder
features a shroud with six perches that align with the seed
ports. When a squirrel, or any other large animal puts weight on
the perches the weight forces the shroud down, preventing access
to the seed. Without being hounded by squirrels, songbirds can
finally feed in peace. The Squirrel Buster Plus attracts a
variety of birds, even Cardinals. But, the squirrel-proofing
mechanism can be adjusted to prevent larger birds if you so
desire. Holding 3 quarts, or 3 1/2 pounds of seed, this feeder
needs to be replinshed less often than comparable tube feeders.
The Squirrel Buster Plus is built to last using UV-stabilized ABS
and polycarbonate resins, rust-proof/powder-coated aluminum, and
stainless steel components. It's easy to clean, too! All parts
are safe for the top-rack of your dishwasher. Utilizing proven
technology, the Squirrel Buster Plus is an investment that will
pay for itself when you consider how much money you're spending
on seed for the squirrels in your yard. No wonder it won the Best
New Product Award at Birdwatch America. Comes with the peace of a lifetime factory
warranty.
Built-to-Last Construction - made of
rugged UV-filtered ABS and Polycarbonate resins and powder-coated
aluminum components. Hangers, springs and fasteners are made from
stainless steel.
Dishwasher Safe Design - easily cleans to
maintain a safe and healthy feeder
Detachable Component System™ -
components are designed to be assembled and dismantled easily by
hand, without tools
Seed Tube Ventilation System™ - Most
transparent bird feeder seed tubes trap solar energy just like a
greenhouse. The air in Squirrel Buster Plus™ rises and
escapes through patented water-proof vents at the top of the
feeder. The escaping, heated air is replaced by fresh air
entering through the seed ports at the bottom of the tube. The
birdseed remains fresh, attracting more birds.
Adjustable Posi-Grip Perch™ - Thick,
adjustable-length perches with textured surfaces provide a secure
and comfortable grip for birds. Attract small birds such as
Chickadees and Finches (while deterring larger birds like
Grackles and Starlings) by shortening the perches.
Cardinal Ring System™ - The Squirrel
Buster Plus™ can be used with or without the Cardinal Ring
System™ (included with feeder purchase), an optional
posi-grip ring designed especially for Cardinals. The Squirrel
Buster Plus™ Cardinal Ring System™ allows Cardinals
to eat facing the seed from a secure and comfortable perch.
