{"product_id":"bird-feeder-metal-squirrel-proof-hanging-outdoor-backyard-tube","title":"Squirrel Proof Tube Bird Feeder","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnyone who has fed garden birds has watched a squirrel empty a feeder in an afternoon. The Squirrel Proof Metal Tube Feeder from Cozy Crest uses an outer cage with gaps sized for small birds and too narrow for a squirrel to reach the ports through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe metal construction is the second half of it. Plastic feeders do not survive squirrels - they get chewed through at the ports within a season, and the hole is then permanent. Metal simply does not give, which is why a slightly more expensive feeder ends up costing less over a few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo versions are available. The cage has a side effect worth knowing about: it also excludes larger birds such as pigeons and jackdaws, which is a benefit or a drawback depending on what you want to attract. Clean it regularly with a suitable disinfectant, as dirty feeders spread disease between birds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct type: Squirrel proof tube feeder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Cozy Crest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtection: Outer cage sized to admit small birds only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Metal throughout - resists chewing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote: Also excludes pigeons, jackdaws and other large birds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersions: Two options available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: Clean regularly to prevent disease spread between birds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Cozy Crest","offers":[{"title":"Rotatable with Core","offer_id":53708531564820,"sku":"hF1765006603100115000","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rotatable with Extended Core","offer_id":53708531597588,"sku":"hF1765006603100115000","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/1975\/0420\/files\/hf_20260824_043955_dc156407-d277-465f-9438-920683f56724.png?v=1787546660","url":"https:\/\/cozycrestliving.com\/products\/bird-feeder-metal-squirrel-proof-hanging-outdoor-backyard-tube","provider":"Cozy Crest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
