Squirrels don't just steal food from a feeder, they often chase off the birds a gift is actually meant to attract. Flaming Hot Feast Seed Bell uses capsaicin to deal with both at once, no squirrel-proof feeder required.
Why Does Capsaicin Work on Squirrels but Not Birds?
Birds don't have the receptor that makes mammals feel capsaicin as heat, so a capsaicin-based bell like this one can sit untouched by birds while squirrels tend to steer clear of it. That's the whole mechanism behind a gift that promises more birds and fewer squirrels at the same feeder.
What Should the Recipient Know Before Handling It?
The product page states plainly that this bell contains a strong eye, nose, and skin irritant. Anyone loading it into a feeder should wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water afterward, and it should be kept out of reach of children. Worth mentioning if you're gifting this to a household with kids around the feeder.
What's Actually in the Bell?
It's made from sunflower hearts, peanuts, golden safflower, meal worms, capsaicin, and gelatin, weighing 227g (8oz). The meal worms bring in insect-eating birds alongside the usual seed-eaters, and it comes with its own hanger or can be mounted on a seed bell hanger, with a no-melt, no-mess formula.
Good Gift For
- Someone who's frustrated with squirrels dominating their feeder.
- A birder who already gets insect-eating birds visiting, thanks to the meal worms in the mix.
- Someone who'd rather have a no-mess bell shape than a plain suet cake.
- A budget-friendly gift at $8.95 CAD.
