Apparently, squirrels aren't big fans of electricity.

I encountered this bird feeder through my girlfriend. She has had one since before we started dating. The great thing about this bird feeder is that it really does keep the squirrels out of the food. When she told me it was squirrel proof, I didn't believe her, but now that I've seen it in action...

We finally gave up on Wild Bill's after purchasing a feeder less than 6 months ago only to have the electronics stop working. We contacted customer support and after 5 days an RMA was issued. The company expected us to box the thing and pay for postage, but promised only to look at the product and not... read full review »

Wild Bills Bird feeder is a piece of junk!

I bought 2 Wild Bill's bird feeders and never again!! They are extremely poor engineering and quality. Expensive to boot. They constantly fail giving the squirrels a chance to destroy them and they do very quickly. Ate 3 tops off the unit then proceeded to eat the perches and the feeding ports. Put it back together with duct tape after running out of spare parts from the other one I bought. Replaced batteries like crazy. The circuit boards on the unit will get wet and short out defeating the whole purpose of squirrel proof!. Any rain will keep them from working. I contacted their customer service...

When I bought Wild Bill's Electric feeder it was 'SWEET' - the electric correction was working and the squirrels weren't impressed with it at all. After about 1.5 years, the electronics failed, the squirrels figured it out - ate through the dome and would actually jeer at me when I'd go out to chase them away. They'd sit INSIDE and dare me to come closer. I'm very disappointed in this product as it was quite an investment. I've declared war on squirrels in my yard - they've proven very clever in figuring out how to get past other 'squirrel proof' feeders as well, it's just that those weren't as... read full review »

I Googled Wild Bills to replace the rubber grommet on top of the 8-port electric feeder and saw some negative reviews. Au contraire!!! Yes, I have to replace the 9-volt battery every 4 months (a simple procedure). Yes, when I've forgotten and let it die, the squirrels and raccoons have nibbled away some of the plastic feeder ports but the fault was mine, not the feeder's. In 40 years of feeding the birds, this is truly the best, most efficient feeder I've ever owned.

Though this one would do the trick, not. First bad rain storm we have, the electric stopped working in it and haven't worked since.. No more Mr. Bill.

Keeps those pesty squirrels away

This feeder has a large capacity for seed. Is very safe for the birds. Will not harm pesty squirrels but does keep them away. They tried a few times and then finally give up trying to get seed. They seem to remember the feeder every fall. I do not keep out durimg summer. There is enough food for the birds in the summer months.It really does work as advertised. Have recommened to all my friends that have bird feeders. It is safe for the squirrels.
