Deer can be very problematic with bird feeders – their height is close to the height of pole hanging feeders so that makes it easier for them to pilfer bird seed. Typically they will extend their tongue and lick at the feeder to pilfer seed. Sometimes they will jump at a feeder and try to knock seed out with their front legs.
Rollerfeeder’s spinning/rotating housing closes on Deer the same way it does when a squirrel or other animals puts weight on the feeder.
The best position for Deer is above or below head height so when they put weight on the feeder is closes – try to avoid directly across from head height.
We do not guarantee our product deer-proof due to the many variables out of our control, however many customers with deer problems purchase our product and report back with deer-proof type responses.
