Squirrel Buster legacy is a perfect blend of the best features of all the other squirrel busters: truly squirrel proof, large volume of 2 6 lbs. , weight adjustable & chew proof.
Stop squirrels — for real. Truly squirrel-proof: The weight of an adult squirrel automatically closes the shroud, denying access to seed.
Save your seed (and your money). Pays for itself: Squirrels can’t steal your wild bird seed anymore. Over time, this means big savings — enough to pay for the feeder itself.
Chew-proof. All exposed parts are made with chew-proof materials
Tool-free design: Every component is easy to take apart by hand — no tools required for cleaning or assembly.
Fresh seed = more birds. Seed ventilation system: Our patented design keeps seed fresh longer, attracting more wild birds to your feeder.
Perfect for perching and clinging birds. Versatile design: Perches suit small perching birds, and the shroud gives clingers like woodpeckers and nuthatches a secure surface too.
Weight Adjustable: Patented weight adjustable spring mechanism controls how much weight the shroud will support allowing the birds to feed. Any additional weight will activate the closing mechanism.
Real support when you need it. Lifetime care: We stand behind our products. Call us — a real person will answer the phone and gladly help you. Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST (except holidays).

Wow. Wish I bought it earlier.
REMINDER: If youâre new to having bird feeders, CLEAN feeders every two weeks and donât mix older seed with new to avoid feeding rancid seed or food thatâs come in contact with feces which can cause parasitic conditions and avian conjunctivitis and spread via feeders also making birds more susceptible to predation and starvation. If you see a bird with abnormal eyes or body size take down feeders, throw away seed, wash feeder thoroughly, wait a week before putting back up.2nd UPDATE: Things iâve learned with adding the twig perch; the extra perch makes it easier for mourning doves to sit on feeders, I adjusted the weight so the ports closed, will see if that keeps them off. I love seeing birds hop around the added perch and they regularly use it to crack seeds or face outwards on lookout before hopping back toward the feeder for more.1st UPDATE: The feeder so nice, I purchased it twice – or rather I was so impressed with this feeder i also purchased the Standard size, and frankly, if theStandard were the first feeder i ever had I probably never would have sought out any others. There is a decent size difference between the Standard and Legacy but both are decently sized. Iâve noticed birds using the âtwig ringâ to help break seed/nut shells too as you can see in the video. Cardinal approved though he hates being spied on so Iâve proof they visit, but canât tell you how often. Squirrels have seen me at the window and behave so Iâve yet to see the squirrel proofing. I wish it didnât swivel/spin so easily but the birds get used to it and i gather it helps shake squirrels off.Original review: Feels so much larger in real life than i anticipated. Pretty soon after deciding to ever get a bird feeder i had to abandon the cute wooden house style ones – very charming but very easy for squirrels to feed from. If it came in black, I probably would have bought it earlier – but iâm honestly much happier with the green anyway. Iâve gone through 6 other bird feeders trying to find something that would keep the squirrels at bay but good for birds and still look good. Out of the box i was really impressed by the quality of this feeder and ease of use. There are three seed compartment dividers inside the plastic tube that i wasnât expecting but very much appreciate. I like having blue jays visit too so happy that you can adjust it and the instructions make it super clear/easy. Hopefully not the mourning doves though. But Iâve noticed that cardinals prefer hopper styles feeders so I cut two flexible twigs from a tree and used grocery bag twists to make a 360 degree perch. Loved it so much i had to write a review now but will update with any news.

Absolutely Works!
This is my second Legacy Squirrel proof feeder – they are very well designed, well made & well backed by Brome, the manufacturer! While squirrel proof, they are not bear proof, and our first one was damaged by Brer Bear who ruined 3 of the feederâs 4 bright metal bird perches and also put a crimp or 2 in the seed tubeâs mesh metal sleeve/shroud. I was able to straighten out the metal sleeve fairly well with a small ball peen hammer; and I will be replacing the bird perches directly from Brome (whose service rep was quite helpful), so I will now have a backup feeder to my new feeder! Highly Recommended!

Love the squirrel buster feeder
I was skeptical about squirrel “proof” feeders as we’ve tried 2 different ones only to have the pesky varmints chew right through the openings and let the seed pour out. I have to say we are pleasantly surprised at how squirrel proof it is! We have watched the squirrels go all around this feeder trying to figure out how to get to the seed, after several minutes they just give up and scurry away, and after having it out for several days they don’t even try anymore. It is a little pricey and a smallish capacity but watching frustrated squirrels is worth it! At least it is very easy to re-fill, taking less than 5 minutes to disassemble, re-fill, re-assemble and re-hang. Very pleased with it and highly recommend it if you’re tired of feeding the squirrels and replacing broken feeders.

Squirrel Busters are effective overall and Legacy is very easy to clean…
The Legacy is my 4th Squirrel Buster purchase. (2) Standards (one as a gift), (1) Plus, and now (1) Legacy. These are excellent anti-squirrel bird feeders. Squirrels may manage to reach them, but they’re always shut out.On the Legacy model the feeder tube can be unscrewed by hand from the feeding base. This is a MAJOR convenience for cleaning purposes. No dealing with unscrewing the 3 screws connecting the feeder tube and base like on the Standard model.Highly recommend any of these feeders. Have had no mechanical failures to speak of on any model, ever. For sure I thought the ring or perches would have bent or broken by now for some reason, but nope, all still going strong. A wide variety of songbirds hang out on these all day.As others have said in reviews, large feed like fruit and nut does not do well in the standard model. It gets stuck. (Raisins, I’m looking at you!). Large feed does great in the Plus Model. Not much ever gets stuck in the Plus, and woodpeckers go nuts for that feeder. (See what I did there) Purchase the Plus Weatherguard as well. Before, rain would get in and create an all around muck and mold and then it’d get clogged. Once the Weatherguard was added it stays dry and doesn’t mold up. Totally worth it.Small feed like sunflower and saffron does great in the standard. Nobody passes that feeder by.The Legacy just went into circulation this afternoon, replacing an old standard Cardinal Bird Feeder filled with sunflower hearts – the preferred meal here and great squirrel attractor. In fact, a crash of a squirrel biting it just happened, fantastic! In weighing the pros and cons, I realize the Legacy beats the pants off my current feeder for a variety of reasons. Higher volume, no rainwater molding, no nasty tray to clean, and oh yeah, squirrel proof. I did use other reviewers idea and attached a perch of my own using a simple wooden dowel and wire string.If you need a squirrel-proof feeder, you’re making a good choice with this brand. I hadn’t realized they have a pretty good guarantee too. Never needed it so never knew. Happy Birding!

After a year of use, itâs holding up great. It now has a few scratches on the top (second photo), which donât bother meâbattle scars from fending off those squirrels! In my mind itâs lasted great through the seasons and many attempted critter heistsâall of which have failedâand still looks surprisingly new. So, itâs doing a great job. Itâs easy to fill. The birds love it and in turn provide lots of entertainment to our cat.

Finally arrived but is good quality and looking forward to trying it!

Works well to keep the squirrels from eating all the seeds.
Beatriz –
Iâm extremely happy with the bird feeder. Itâs a little awkward for blue jays because theyâre too big to perch and eat – much easier for chickadees and cardinals. Squirrels only tried to jump on it once and quickly gave up when they couldnât get the seeds.

i was hesitating spending this much but its totally worth it. i had an issue where i wanted cardinals but not squirrel. its 100% squirrel proof. i set it to the perfect weight by measuring rice grains in a ziploc to the weight of cardinals. super easy to do and refil. A+++
