At the time, it was $150 and the most expensive feeder in my rapidly growing collection (\u003cem\u003eI don’t have a problem!\u003c\/em\u003e). I was hesitant to make the purchase. Who spends that much money on a bird feeder?!?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFast forward a year and a half (\u003cem\u003eat the time of me writing this\u003c\/em\u003e) 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnywho, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisclaimer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Some links found on this page are Amazon affiliate links.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRelated Content: Hot or Not? Testing Spicy Bird Seed – Does it Work?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is rough math…but I’d estimate squirrels can go through $15 worth of bird seed at my feeder each week (\u003cem\u003econservative guess\u003c\/em\u003e). 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf 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.
