Squirrel Free- Static Sting- Bird Feeder- 12 port

Birds love it, squirrels hate it. Extra large seed hopper with 3 sections. Can hold 3 different types of feed. 20 lb. Capacity. 22 inches H x15 inches Dia. 12 bird-friendly feeding stations . Top and Bottom Squirrel-Stinger. Battery charge indicator. Hang or pole mounts. ASPCA Seal of Approval . Featuring the patented Squirrel-Stinger™, the WildBills™ Squirrel-free bird feeder uses a mild static correction to train squirrels to go away and stay away. Squirrels are very clever. They quickly figure out how to bypass baffles, levers, and other so-called squirrel-proof devices. They seem to delight in the challenge. While we marvel at their craftiness, we are frustrated by their destructive natures. Bird lovers give up, don't buy seed and their feeders stand empty. When a squirrel lands on a WildBills™ bird feeder, he receives a harmless static sting. This surprises the squirrel and he jumps off. He may return only to be surprised again. Now he is conditioned. Because he is smart, he learns to avoid the feeder. Works on raccoons and other pests. Birds however, can't feel the sensation.

Does the feeder harm the squirrels? When an animal touches two metal contact points at the same time, an electrical circuit is completed and a mild correction is delivered. This is similar to the static shock you sometimes get when walking across a carpet. The correction delivered by the WildBills™ Squirrel-free Bird Feeder merely surprises the squirrel and does not hurt squirrels or other animals in any way. Do the birds feeding receive a shock? The WildBills™ Squirrel-free Bird Feeder is incapable of adversely affecting a bird because of a bird's physiological characteristics. Bird's bills, feathers, and scale-covered feet insulate their bodies. Even under extreme wet conditions, the oil on a bird's feathers, combined with other physical characteristics and the air trapped by their feathers, prevents any electricity from reaching their body.

Can I be harmed by the feeder? Although the correction is not harmful to your health, it may startle or surprise you. It is best, therefore, to make sure that the WildBills™ Squirrel-free Bird Feeder is turned OFF whenever you are handling the feeder. Also be sure to always keep the bird feeder out of the reach of children.

How long will the battery last? A 9V alkaline battery lasts for 3-4 months. This will depend on the number of static corrections delivered. If there is an unusually high squirrel population, battery life will decrease.

How can I tell if my battery needs to be replaced? To check the 9v battery, push the small white button on the circuit boards near the bottom of the battery. If the green light comes on, there is enough power to operate the feeder. If the light is dim or does not come on, replace the battery. Testing the battery uses energy, and excessive testing will shorten the useful life of the battery. It rained or snowed for the last few days and now my feeder isn't working. Why? The feeder will only provide a static correction when a circuit is completed. The circuit is completed when two metal contact points are touched at the same time. In weather where rain, snow or ice remain on the metal ring on the the baffle they can complete the circuit. If this happens there is a continuous correction for about 10 seconds, the the fail safe switch shuts down the feeder until the condition is corrected. This is NOT a malfunction. The 9v circuitry was designed to turn off after 10-12 seconds of continuous operation to keep the battery from draining and to insure that an animal would not be harmed if it was inadvertently caught in the feeder. When the wet weather stops and the feeder is dry, the fail safe resets. To ensure proper operation after severe weather, we recommend that you turn the power off and thoroughly dry the baffle. Remember to turn the power on again after the condition has been corrected.
