Please note that Juvenile HOSP may not be deterred, having not yet learned the "danger" of the hanging wires. Usually, these aren't many, however, some users have reported large numbers of “juvies” during the breeding season and into Summer. Also, HOSP may begin tolerating the halo in poor weather or desperation. Please see our 2020 disclaimer for details.
Our mission is to discourage feeding (and nesting) of HOSP, and thus help increase the numbers of native sparrows, finches, songbirds, and all others that come to feeders. Included with your purchase:
- 20" diameter works for most hanging feeder designs (email us with any questions)
- Hunter Green enamel finish with 12 AWG (3/32") thick galvanized aluminum hoop
- Use of 24 AWG galvanized weighted steel wires to resist bird tangling and/or injury
- Drastically reduce or eliminate feeding non-native, invasive HOSP to encourage native species
- Designed for hanging feeders using 1/2" (or less) thick Shepherd hooks
- Simply hang between hook and bird feeder
- Hang feeder as high up and close to the halo as possible
- With more targeted feeding, expect lower volume and cost of birdseed
- $29 cost reflects materials cost, ~3 hours labor, and packaging of item
- Easy assembly in only a few minutes
The birds flying up at, and then away from the Halo-protected feeder in the above video are HOSP. The device definitely works, with only an occasional breach, allowing the use of feeders by native birds. If you find it is not at least reducing HOSP, you may return your Halo for a complete refund (+ one-way shipping).
