Defend your bird seed from undesirable critters with multiple squirrel-stopping features on this Squirrel Shield lantern feeder. The weight-sensitive seed shield collapses under the weight of a squirrel to block the seed ports should they try to jump from below. Ensure that squirrels are not able to reach in and gorge themselves on seed. More thorough cleaning without the use of tools. Durable powder-coated metal roof and seed shield and a UV-stabilized tube make for a superior quality feeder that you and the birds will enjoy for years to come.
