Heritage Farms Mini Absolute II Squirrel-Resistant Bird Feeder

Keep the birds. Discourage the squirrels.

The Heritage Farms Mini Absolute II brings serious squirrel protection in a smaller footprint that's especially well suited to patios, smaller yards, balconies and birdwatchers who want a feeder that's easy to manage.

When a squirrel or heavier bird lands on the adjustable perch, the feeder responds to the extra weight and closes access to the seed. Smaller songbirds can continue feeding normally.
