- Hi, it's Parris from Epic Review Guys
and for the past year, we've been using
the Squirrel Buster Mini.
This has been a great bird feeder
that keeps the squirrels out
but it's become so popular with the birds,
they empty it now in about four hours
so we're moving up to the Squirrel Buster Classic.
♫ Epic Review Guys ♫
Let me show you here a little bit of video
of squirrels trying to get to the Squirrel Buster Mini.
They were never able to get in and get the food here
but they did find, depending where we put it,
that they would shake it real good,
they could get the seed to fall out
and get it down below.
The Squirrel Buster Classic has about twice
the seed capacity of the Squirrel Buster Mini.
We had thought of just getting another Mini
and hanging it out in a different place
but they've discontinued those.
Now, this is also more expensive.
This was around 25-30 dollars when we got it.
Squirrel Buster Classic is almost 50 dollars.
I'll put a link down below this video
if you'd like to check it out.
Little on the pricey side but if you're into
having birds in your backyard
and being able to watch them
that's the price of admission.
In the box, you also get the instruction cards,
some other information, other bird related things
you can sign up for.
This does come all the way apart
if you need to disassemble it to wash it
or something gets jammed up in there.
But, on a day to day basis,
it's very easy, just like this one, that's what we like.
You could just fill it up and have it back out there
in almost no time.
With this, let me show you first
about the squirrel busting feature.
Right now, if you can see the birds
or whatever animal can get in there
to get to the seed but once the weight on this,
whether the weight is here or here or here,
once it exceeds about the weight of a squirrel,
pulls it down, the feed ports are now behind the grill,
and they can't get to it.
Okay, now about filling it up.
I'll show you that.
The way you take it off is real easy.
You twist the top, push it down, twist the top.
You're ready to fill it up.
In anticipation of having this
and because I'm tired of always running out
and having to run over the supermarket,
the last time we were in Home Depot,
I said let's just buy it by the ton,
40 pound bag of seeds.
Actually the biggest one that they had
but it's much cheaper per pounds to buy it this way.
The Squirrel Buster Mini would take about
one and a half glasses of feed.
Let's see how much fits in here.
Oh yeah, some always does bounce out at first.
Looks like we're gonna get about three glasses in there.
Actually a little bit more.
I'll clean this up later.
Let's go see what kind of birds come to visit.
There are a pair of finches eating right across
from one another.
With the weight of the pigeon on it,
the grill has come down in front of all the feeding ports.
And there, as soon as he flies off,
the weight released, the ports open back up.
