Designed to give small songbirds a safe and reliable feeding spot, the Defeater Cage Seed Log Feeder keeps out larger birds like magpies and crows while also deterring big squirrels, such as the gray squirrels found in other parts of Canada. The sturdy metal cage surrounds the seed log, allowing only smaller birds—like chickadees, nuthatches, and finches—to access the food while keeping larger, more aggressive birds at bay.

Though highly effective against bigger pests, the feeder isn’t completely squirrel-proof—Alberta’s nimble red squirrels sometimes manage to squeeze inside for a snack! Built for durability and easy maintenance, this feeder is a great choice for anyone looking to support small backyard birds while minimizing waste and unwanted visitors.
