Ideal For
Perfect for protecting any pole-mounted or shepherd hook bird feeder from squirrels, raccoons, and other climbing animals. Ideal for homeowners, bird enthusiasts, and nature lovers who want to maintain a peaceful feeding environment. Works excellent with all types of bird feeders including tube feeders, hopper feeders, and platform feeders mounted on poles.
Installation Instructions
Step 1: Position the included coupler on your pole or shepherd hook approximately 4-5 feet above the ground. The coupler fits any pole between 1/2-inch and 1-3/8-inch in diameter.
Step 2: Wrap the baffle around your pole. The seam will align easily as you bring the two sides together.
Step 3: Snap the seam together by applying inward pressure on each side. You'll hear a click when properly secured.
Step 4: Ensure the baffle is secure and wobbles slightly - this wobbling action helps deter squirrels from climbing past it.
Installation Note: No need to remove your bird feeder during installation. The wrap-around design allows you to install the baffle while your feeder remains in place.
