Its compact 1.3-pound capacity, weight-activated shroud, and negative grip tube make it a strong everyday choice for birders who want squirrel resistance without stepping up to a larger high-capacity feeder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a squirrel climbs onto the feeder, its weight forces the metal mesh shroud downward and closes access to the seed tray.
