Easier to Read Slides Top 5 RollerFeeder Features

..

1. Entertaining without batteries or motors: RollerFeeder uses a squirrel as its energy source to spin,  our patented rotating housing & weight balancing feature mechanically spins using the squirrels own body weight, giving them a gentle and humorous roll to the ground....without ongoing purchasing of  batteries, re-charging, motors, or the need to monitor a batteries useful charge-life...and nothing goes to landfill.

RollerFeeder Seed Storage 

plus Entertaining & Environmental Mechanical Design. 

* Housing humorously spins without costly 

battery or cartridge replacement, adding to landfills, or monitoring useful charge life.

2. Tough Housing...a Common Tactic by Squirrels is Jumping & Hitting a feeder hard knocking seed out of the feeder ports: When an animal jumps at, or disturbs a rollerfeeder, the rotating outer housing absorbs the impact & disruption by spinning freely around the seed hopper.  The seed stays intact in a stainless & galvanized steel seed hopper isolated from the event.  The seed hopper trays are also tightly designed making it difficult for an animal to shake or knock seed out. No direct hits to the seed container itself greatly reduces birdseed spilling to the ground & flying all over.

3. Rainproof Design means Fresh & Dry Seed: Damp seed turns into moldy seed rapidly or becomes soggy.  When it's raining & windy, it would take a strong storm or more for any rain to ever enter the RF seed hopper.  The rain-roof also functions as a weather shelter keeping birds dry while feeding - without an extra rain dome or cover typically costing between $10-$35.  The RF seed-hopper & outer-housing combination prevents damp seed and what's known as "seed-port clogging" from rain & strong side-ward wind, no extras required.

3a. Maximum Air Circulation:   Side-to-side air flow virtually eliminates condensation build-up that can occur in a tight container. The air flows side-to-side through, in & around the housing, and thru mesh sides in the seed hopper keeping your highest quality seed dry.  There are drain holes in the seed container and housing as back-up if ever needed.

4. Dual Purpose Design functions to Dislodge & Close Access to Seed: Some squirrel proof seed containers close access to the birdseed while a squirrel holds on, while other designs use batteries to try and dislodge with seed ports remaining open.  RollerFeeder functions simultaneously by closing access to the seed when the housing rotates and working to dislodge & deter loitering.  Afterwards, the housing corrects itself for birds to feed.

5. Simple Filling & Built-In Seed Catcher: No caps, covers, hinges, or other moving parts for an animal to figure out or remove/unlock before filling - just rotate housing and pour seed through the housing opening and into the seed hopper.  The bottom of the feeder functions as a built-in seed-catcher minimizing seed falling to ground - centrifugal force helps keep in the spent seed shells when it spins.  Each time you fill, rotate housing and empty seed shells into a container to discard.  Seed catchers or seed trays are most often added costs ranging from $5 - $10.  Rf comes with a free no cost seed scoop solution.

Other Features

  1. Best Bird Seed: A common suggestion is to use "Safflower" seed to deter squirrels and large nuisance birds.  RF recommends using "Sunflower Hearts" or Black Oil Sunflower mixed with Hearts (or shelled sunflower).  By far, sunflower or mixture is the best seed to attract the best songbirds with no compromises on seed quality.

  2. Easy to Clean: RF can be disassembled using a Phillips screw driver for a thorough cleaning or just spray out with a garden hose.

  3. Durable Housing: Made of rigid rust proof aluminum with durable powder coat weather & UV resistant finish.  Seed hopper is galvanized and stainless steel.

  4. Stops Squirrel & Birds: RF is designed to stop both squirrels and other problem animals, as well as large nuisance birds & a technique to greatly reduce house or english sparrows.

  5. Built to Last: RF is built to last, with lifetime warranty on aluminum housing.
