DefenderTM feeders are tough, long-lasting and offer excellent protection from squirrel damage. Using the simple but highly effective perching rings, birds can feed in their natural feeding position - facing forward.Other benefits include the easy flow base, tough hanger and cap - all constructed from corrosion resistant solid metal alloy. Seed feeder tubes are made from UV-stabilised polycarbonate, which will not deteriorate when exposed to sunlight.Each component has been ergonomically designed, providing excellent performance benefits and ease of use. The feeders also completely dismantle for cleaning.SizingCapacity 250gHeight 20cmPorts 2 Capacity 425g Height 35cm Ports 4 Capacity 625g Height 52.5cm Ports 6 OtherWhere did we start? CJ WildBird Foods was set up in 1987 on a farm in rural Shropshire by Chris Whittles, a lifelong ornithologist and wildlife enthusiast. Initially researching and providing just a small range of seeds for wild birds, we've grown rapidly and are now a world leader in the research, design, development and supply of wild bird and wildlife food and feeding products. We have a wealth of wild bird and wildlife expertise at CJs and have been responsible for a significant number of developments in caring for garden birds and wildlife. Did you know?Ornithologists at CJs have researched wild bird foods through a food development programme that has significantly extended the range of foods available.Over 80 common species of wild birds can now be fed in gardens, compared to just 18 when we started.Our research has helped establish year-round feeding for garden birds with the endorsement of the RSPB.We can now feed birds during the crucial breeding months of spring and early summer, as well as through the winter. We were the first to introduce to the garden many of the wild bird foods that are now taken for granted. Hard to believe, but just 20 years ago foods such as black sunflower seed, sunflower hearts, Nyjer seed and kibbled sunflower hearts were just not on the menu!CJs developed and introduced a new concept in bird feeding - high energy foods such as Sunflower Hearts and Peanut Cakes.This important innovation means that birds can now get straight to the calories they need rather than use valuable time and energy cracking open seeds. This can literally be the difference between life and death for small birds in freezing conditions with only 6 daylight feeding hours available to them.We were the first to sell peanuts with nil-detectable aflatoxin.This ensured that peanuts were safe for birds which previously had been at risk from the toxins produced by this killer mould.We were the first to introduce No Mess foods and ground feeding mixes to the market.We developed the innovative 'perching ring' which allows birds to eat from a feeder facing forwards - their natural feeding position.We've also used our wildlife expertise to develop specialist food mixes including our Hedgehog Food endorsed by the British Hedgehog Preservation Society.
