Everything you want in a feeder: Patented squirrel-proof technology, a no-tools component system that makes it so easy to clean, and with new features like a Double-Cardinal Ring which welcomes a spectrum of sizes of birds, and a patented water diversion system designed to keep seed dry.

No Mess No Waste®. For best results use no mess seed blends, or hulled sunflower seeds.

TRULY SQUIRREL PROOF™: Openings in the shroud align with the feeding ports, providing birds access to the food. When a squirrel climbs onto the feeder, its weight automatically forces the shroud down, closing access to the ports. Squirrels and some large birds are foiled but not harmed in any way.

CHEW PROOF: All feeder parts exposed to squirrels are made with chew proof materials.

DETACHABLE COMPONENT SYSTEM™:  squirrel-proof bird feeders are designed to be dismantled by hand into individual components without the use of tools. This allows for easy cleaning and maintenance.

WATER DIVERSION SYSTEM: our water diverter features a two-part design with a trough and spout, complemented by a drip edge above each seed port. This innovation guarantees that water never compromises the dryness of
the birdseed.

SEED VENTILATION SYSTEM™: Transparent seed tubes trap solar energy. Conventional seed tube designs block the escape of the heated air. Brome's patented Seed Tube Ventilation™ permits humidity and hot air to escape through vents at the top of the feeder and replaces it with fresh air. Bird food remains fresher, attracting more wild birds.

UV RESISTANT: All components are UV resistant.

PAYS FOR ITSELF IN SAVED SEED™: Squirrels can no longer steal your wild bird seed. Over a short period of time this adds up to substantial savings that will pay for the purchase of your feeder.

If I Could Buy 1 Bird Feeder Again, It Would Be This One (Here’s Why)

In the spring of 2024, I purchased the atalisman bird feeder for my bird feeding station. At the time, it was $150 and the most expensive feeder in my rapidly growing collection (I don’t have a problem!). I was hesitant to make the purchase. Who spends that much money on a bird feeder?!?

Fast forward a year and a half (at the time of me writing this) and I have no regrets. The feeder has paid for itself in bird seed that remains out of the clutches of squirrels, it’s well-liked by my local birds, and it’s stood up to all sorts of weather with no visible wear and tear. Oh, and the feeder is incredibly popular with birds! Just today I saw my first ever Purple Finch stopping by bird feeding station. It only took me 5.5 years to see one.

Anywho, seeing a lifer today inspired me to write up a post singing the praises for this bird feeder. If you’re new to the hobby or are looking to add to your bird feeding station, it’s my opinion that you can’t go wrong with the atalisman, especially if you want to stop squirrels from eating your bird seed.

The atalisman is a unique squirrel-proof feeder. Most use a weight-sensitive system to close their ports when a squirrel hangs from it, but this feeder starts spinning when they hang from the bottom, leading to hilarious situations of squirrels clinging on for dear life while being spun around.

My weird, but satisfying, experience with this feeder is that I’ve yet to see a single squirrel even try to hop on it. I’ve never seen a squirrel spun around! So, my life is lacking in humor. Whatever. I can’t explain why my local squirrels seem to have no interest in hopping on. Maybe they can sense that something is off or perilous about the feeder? Regardless, it has a 100% success rate of keeping squirrels out. They don’t even try.

This is rough math…but I’d estimate squirrels can go through $15 worth of bird seed at my feeder each week (conservative guess). I’ve had the atalisman for 16 months. So, I estimate it’s saved me at least $270 in lost bird seed. I always tell folks that investing in a squirrel proof feeder has perks, one of which is that you save $$$ long term on bird food. I suppose I can use the savings to continue fueling my bird feeder addiction, but I’m thankfully out of closet space. Perhaps I should invest in Nvidia stock instead? Thanks for helping my retirement account, bird feeder.

If I had to pick any negatives about this feeder…it’s that it’s so popular that I have to fill it almost every week. I usually go through two pounds of bird seed in it. Thankfully, my full-time career has been going well and I have a well-built budget for bird seed. That being said, I’m open to accepting bird seed sponsorships in exchange for free product. I’m kidding, or maybe not.

The weight sensitive ring is well-calibrated so birds don’t set it off. I’ve seen fat Cardinals and Blue Jays using it with no problems. In my limited time of using it, here are birds I’ve seen enjoying the feeder:

• American Goldfinches
• Black-Capped Chickadees
• Downy Woodpeckers
• House Finches
• House Sparrows
• Northern Cardinals
• Pine Siskins
• Red-Winged Blackbirds
• White-Breasted Nuthatches
