Using a patented weight-sensitive mechanism, this feeder automatically closes access to the seed when a squirrel climbs on. It’s a safe, effective way to keep your bird seed for the birds. With 4 sturdy metal perches and a 2.6 lb seed capacity, the Legacy is ideal for sunflower and safflower seeds. Its chew-proof design ensures long-lasting performance, even under tough backyard conditions. Cleaning is simple — the feeder can be taken apart by hand into individual components, no tools required. Review: Works very well - I can't recommend this enough. It really keeps the goofy squirrels out of the bird seed. It is very well made, albeit expensive. My only complaint, is that for the price, I wish it came with a rain shield over the top. Review: Wow. Wish I bought it earlier. - REMINDER: If you’re new to having bird feeders, CLEAN feeders every two weeks and don’t mix older seed with new to avoid feeding rancid seed or food that’s come in contact with feces which can cause parasitic conditions and avian conjunctivitis and spread via feeders also making birds more susceptible to predation and starvation. If you see a bird with abnormal eyes or body size take down feeders, throw away seed, wash feeder thoroughly, wait a week before putting back up. 2nd UPDATE: Things i’ve learned with adding the twig perch; the extra perch makes it easier for mourning doves to sit on feeders, I adjusted the weight so the ports closed, will see if that keeps them off. I love seeing birds hop around the added perch and they regularly use it to crack seeds or face outwards on lookout before hopping back toward the feeder for more. 1st UPDATE: The feeder so nice, I purchased it twice - or rather I was so impressed with this feeder i also purchased the Standard size, and frankly, if the Standard were the first feeder i ever had I probably never would have sought out any others. There is a decent size difference between the Standard and Legacy but both are decently sized. I’ve noticed birds using the ‘twig ring’ to help break seed/nut shells too as you can see in the video. Cardinal approved though he hates being spied on so I’ve proof they visit, but can’t tell you how often. Squirrels have seen me at the window and behave so I’ve yet to see the squirrel proofing. I wish it didn’t swivel/spin so easily but the birds get used to it and i gather it helps shake squirrels off. Original review: Feels so much larger in real life than i anticipated. Pretty soon after deciding to ever get a bird feeder i had to abandon the cute wooden house style ones - very charming but very easy for squirrels to feed from. If it came in black, I probably would have bought it earlier - but i’m honestly much happier with the green anyway. I’ve gone through 6 other bird feeders trying to find something that would keep the squirrels at bay but good for birds and still look good. Out of the box i was really impressed by the quality of this feeder and ease of use. There are three seed compartment dividers inside the plastic tube that i wasn’t expecting but very much appreciate. I like having blue jays visit too so happy that you can adjust it and the instructions make it super clear/easy. Hopefully not the mourning doves though. But I’ve noticed that cardinals prefer hopper styles feeders so I cut two flexible twigs from a tree and used grocery bag twists to make a 360 degree perch. Loved it so much i had to write a review now but will update with any news. ## Features - TRULY SQUIRREL-PROOF: Openings in the shroud align with the feeding ports, providing birds access to the food. When a squirrel climbs onto the feeder, its weight automatically forces the shroud down, closing access to the ports. Squirrels and some large birds are foiled but not harmed in any way. - PAYS FOR ITSELF IN SAVED SEED: Squirrels can no longer steal your wild bird seed. Over a short period of time this adds up to substantial savings that will pay for the purchase of your feeder. - Chew-proof. All exposed parts are made with chew-proof materials - Tool-free design: Every component is easy to take apart by hand — no tools required for cleaning or assembly. - Fresh seed = more birds. Seed ventilation system: Our patented design keeps seed fresh longer, attracting more wild birds to your feeder. - Perfect for perching and clinging birds. Versatile design: Perches suit small perching birds, and the shroud gives clingers like woodpeckers and nuthatches a secure surface too. - Weight Adjustable: Patented weight adjustable spring mechanism controls how much weight the shroud will support allowing the birds to feed. Any additional weight will activate the closing mechanism. - Lifetime Care is how we stand behind our products. Call us! A real person will answer the phone and gladly help you. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B016KVKVQU | | Additional Features | Squirrel Proof | | Best Sellers Rank | #18,687 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #253 in Wild Bird Feeders | | Brand | Brome | | Brand Name | Brome | | Capacity | 2.6 pounds | | Color | garden green | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 4,337 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00628209010820 | | Included Components | Manual | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 5.5"L x 5.5"W x 16"H | | Item Type Name | Squirrel Buster Legacy Truly Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder, 2.6 lbs Seed Capacity, 4 Feed Ports | | Item Weight | 2.7 pounds | | Manufacturer | Brome Bird Care | | Manufacturer Part Number | BD1082 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Lifetime Limited | | Material | Metal, Plastic | | Material Type | Metal, Plastic | | Model Number | 1082-V01 | | Mounting Type | Hanging Mount | | Number of Items | 1 | | Power Source | no power | | Recommended Uses For Product | Seed | | Special Feature | Squirrel Proof | | Target Species | Birds | | UPC | 628209010820 097558653543 703510576002 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Brome - **Material:** Metal, Plastic - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Seed - **Special Feature:** Squirrel Proof - **Target Species:** Birds ## Images ![Squirrel Buster Legacy - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lqYHyPvuL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this feeder work keeping small chipmunks out?** A: It does not keep them out. They have a feast and eat the seeds . Sadly the description and the box itself says noting about chipmunks and raccoons. It is only when you start reading the brochure inside the box that the manufacturer states categorically that the feeder is not designed to deter them. Again hiding the truth from the customer. **Q: How much seed does this feeder hold?** A: Not very much actually. I have to fill it daily but it is great for the nuthatches who prefer to feed upsidedown. They can easily cling to it and the squirrels never give it a moments thought. I have the larger Brome with a cardinal ring which holds lots of seed (several days worth at a time) and that is also great, but the nuthatches can't feed as easily on it. We bought the Mini for that reason. **Q: Would this feeder work well for feeding thistle seed?** A: No, because it has drainage holes in the bottom that are large enough for thistle seeds or millet to fall out. However, I covered it with foil and poked smaller holes with a toothpick. Hoping that works. **Q: Has anyone tried using a soft, flowing peanut butter like Smucker's in this feeder?** A: These feeders are designed to feed SEED, not peanut butter. I think it would only create a miserable mess that would spoil and be very hard to clean out of the feeder. I would NOT recommend you put peanut butter in this feeder. Try feeding peanut butter on a board type feeder. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works very well *by T***L on June 15, 2026* I can't recommend this enough.
