Supa Caged Fat Ball Feeder

Description

Collection only,  £3.85 

Supa Caged Fat Ball Feeder is a heavy-duty, predator-resistant wild bird feeder specifically designed to protect bird food in UK gardens. It encases a central suet ball dispenser inside a robust outer metal cage. This distinct mechanism ensures that small garden birds can feed peacefully without interruption. 

• Predator Deterrent: Effectively excludes adult squirrels, preventing them from stealing food or destroying the inner cylinder.
• Excludes Larger Birds: Prevents “bully” species like pigeons, crows, and doves from taking over the feeding station.
• Safe Haven: Provides small birds (such as tits, finches, and nuthatches) with an added sense of security, encouraging them to stay in your garden longer. 

• Capacity: Comfortably holds 4 standard-sized (100g) fat balls or suet balls.
• Dimensions: Measures approximately 26 cm in height by 17.5 cm in diameter (36 cm tall with the handle fully extended).
• Material: Built from a durable, weather-resistant, and bite-proof alloy steel wire frame.
• Coating: Finished with a protective black or green powder coating to prevent rust and maximize outdoor longevity.
• Mounting: Includes a built-in heavy-duty handle loop for easy hanging from tree branches or feeding stations.
• Access: Features a quick-release catch with a unique flip-top lid, making refills and internal cleaning straightforward. 

• Placement: To prevent clever pests, position the feeder away from direct jumping platforms. Consider utilizing a dedicated tree hook to extend the gap between the hanging point and the nearest branch. 
• Hygiene: Wash the inner tube and outer cage regularly with warm water and a mild disinfectant to stop bacteria buildup. Always dry the unit completely before adding fresh suet. 
• Squirrel Deterrent Hack: If local squirrels remain persistent, try adding a dash of strong chili powder to your fat ball mix. Birds do not have the taste receptors to be bothered by the heat, but mammals find it highly unappealing.
