The Squirrel Buster Mini is guaranteed to be squirrel proof. Openings in the bottom of the metal mesh shroud are aligned with the seed tray and allow birds access to the seed. When a squirrel climbs onto the feeder its weight automatically forces the shroud down closing access to the seed tray. Squirrels are shut out but not harmed in any way. The negative grip tube is part of our patented technology. It prevents squirrels from grabbing the wire hanger with their hind legs hanging down alongside the feeder and defeating the closing mechanism. Both perching and clinging birds love this feeder. The seed ports have perches for the perching birds but the metal mesh shroud also offers a large clinging area. Because of the combined perching and clinging surfaces you will find an enhanced level of bird activity with the Squirrel Buster Mini. The feeder also features a patented Seed Tube Ventilation System to keep birds healthy. Transparent seed tubes are like greenhouses they trap solar energy. Traditional seed tube cover designs block the escape of heated air. The patented Seed Tube Ventilation System in Squirrel Buster Mini permits humidity and hot air to escape through vents at the top of the feeder. The escaping hot air is replaced with fresh air entering the seed ports and openings on the bottom of the seed tube. The seed stays fresher and attracts more birds.

No more bees no drips a snap to clean!
I initially bought a classic "perky pet" feeder with the glass jar draining down into several feeding "flowers." Despite the bee guards I often saw yellowjackets hovering around it. They squeezed themselves along the underside of the bee guards to get dribbles that leaked out of the flowers. Also I learned that bees are drawn to yellow (the color of the plastic flowers). I'm sure ants would have found the dribbles before long as well - there were even splatters on my deck.
Also there was no way to be sure the plastic base was really clean when I refilled it. I've heard you can poison hummers with fungus if the feeders are not cleaned thoroughly every 3-4 days. Fungus just loves sugar water.
I looked at some hummingbird afficionado sites and apparently the hummzinger models are the way to go. The simple construction is very easy to scrub out; no hidden recesses for fungus to grow. There is no yellow on it so less attractive to bees. I have not seen one yellowjacket since installing this! No drips and bees can't reach nectar through the openings.
It should be refilled even when it is not empty both because of fungus growth (I have found fungus after waiting too long) and also because it seems a bit deep for hummers to reach the bottom unless they are a long-billed variety. (I have Anna's hummers).
I had some trouble getting the lid off for cleaning untill I realized I could just use the brass hanger to push the base down while pulling the lid upwards.
It's worth the frequent cleaning when I can sit in my living room watching the birds enjoy their nectar. This feeder makes the maintenance as easy as possible.
