Product Description: Contech - Squirrel Scatter Electronic Squirrel Proof Birdfeeder SquirrelScatter: Sturdy Attractive Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder with Automatic Squirrel Deterrent Feed birds, not squirrels. The SquirrelScatter(R) squirrel proof bird feeder welcomes birds and discourages squirrels. Six bird perches let birds enjoy seeds and grain. Squirrels receive a harmless, brief electrical pulse when they climb onto the thin layers of chrome on the base or roof of the bird feeder. Two D cell batteries power the squirrel repellent feature. Ideal for both gardeners and bird fanciers, the SquirrelScatter attracts wild birds while discouraging destructive squirrel pests. How and why this squirrel proof bird feeder works: The SquirrelScatter(R) squirrel proof bird feeder combines an efficient spill-resistant design with a harmless yet effective electronic squirrel deterrent. Birds perched at any feeding station or on any part of the feeder eat undisturbed. When a squirrel lands on the SquirrelScatter feeder, the squirrel touches two or more points with its body and completes the electrical circuit. Completing the circuit creates mild electrical pulses similar to static electricity. The squirrel scatters. Squirrels quickly learn to stay off the bird feeder. Birds then enjoy their meals in peace. Setting up the SquirrelScatter is easy. Install two "D" cell batteries, add bird food, hang the bird feeder from a branch or pole and turn it on. To refill the SquirrelScatter squirrel proof bird feeder, switch off the power, remove the top hatch, add bird food and flip the switch to on. The pulsing light shows that the batteries are working. The SquirrelScatter operates for up to three months on one pair of alkaline batteries. Note from Barbara: Nothing like watching an envious squirrel as the birds feast from the feeder in my back yard. I had birds most of the year and no squirrels. SquirrelScatter Birdfeeder Specifications: Operation : Touching 2 or more points on the base or the roof
