Its four feeding ports and 2.6-pound seed capacity create a practical everyday station for chickadees, cardinals, grosbeaks, titmice, jays, woodpeckers, doves, juncos, sparrows, and towhees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe key is Brome's weight-activated shroud. When a squirrel climbs onto the feeder, its weight pulls the shroud downward and closes access to the feeding ports.
