The top of the Ground Guard opens easily for refilling. Available in two mesh sizes, the large mesh excludes all large birds, such as Wood Pigeons and Collared Doves. The small mesh will help keep out most squirrels and starlings. Both mesh sizes fit our ground trays and hoppers. 56cm wide x 37cm tall

“This appears to be robust and despite its size is not visually intrusive given its green colour. Blackbirds can hop through easily enough, as alas are squirrels, hopefully they will get so fat on the amount of expensive feed they eat that eventually they won't be able to squeeze through. Rapid delivery as usuaul from Vine House Farm.”

“Well built and easy to assemble. It keeps out wood pigeons and pheasants although they reach through to get at seed near the edge of the guard. It does not deter squirrels which slip in and out without difficulty. most small birds seem to accept it without any problem, although chaffinches seem reluctant to enter.”

“This is great if you want to keep some food back for the smaller ground-feeding birds. It is very sturdy and quite heavy so other creatures can't knock it aside. I did find the other day that "someone" had managed to open the lid and knock it off its clips - unfortunately that was the night I didn't have the outdoor camera in the garden. I suspect it was a cat but I have now wired down the handle so it can't be opened. You can easily refill the feed tray without opening the lid by lifting the whole thing. I am very pleased with it and would recommend it.”

“Arrived promptly. Well-made, easy to assemble. Does the job - although a hedgehog seems to be able to get into it! PT”

“My plan was to keep the starlings out but despite buying the smaller mesh that hadn’t worked. The clips on the guard are not really very good. The ones on the lid won’t stand the test if time and keep flicking off when the lid is opened. Despite all this I’m enjoying having this product I just wish those starlings would give the little birds a chance”

“I already have the large meshed version of this but wanted to keep out the hoard of pesky starlings. This smaller mesh only serves to keep out the blackbirds that I want to encourage. The small mesh offers no deterrent to starlings; they fly in and out with ease. I’ve reverted to using my larger mesh guard so blackbirds can still get to the food. At least they prevent the magpies and greedy wood pigeon. I’d recommend the large mesh guard.”

“Keeps the pigeons away from the smaller birds’ food. Has made the smaller garden birds more visible, as previously food was scattered under the hedge, but this in turn attracted rats. Sturdy and reliable”

“I bought this to keep five pesky jays off the food so the little birds get some. Unfortunately, one jay seems to have been to WeightWatchers and can get in and scoff the lot. I've ordered the smaller Ground Guard so hopefully even Slimmer of the Year won't be able to get in.”
