Hummer Helper Hummer Helmet Baffle

Attract hummingbirds while protecting feeders from squirrels and harsh weather with this 12-inch bright red hanging dome baffle. Its vibrant, all-red color catches the attention of nearby hummingbirds, while the smooth, slick surface gives inquisitive squirrels little to grip, causing them to slide off before reaching the feeder.

The generously sized dome blocks direct sunlight, providing a cooler, shaded place for hummingbirds to feed. The shade also helps keep nectar cooler and fresher longer. In rainy weather, the baffle provides added protection for both birds and feeder contents.

Designed to hang above most bird feeders, the baffle is easy to assemble and includes all necessary mounting hardware.

Includes:

One 12-inch red polymer dome
One 3/4-inch threaded loop
One 1-1/8-inch open eyebolt
One 8-inch open eyebolt
One #8 locknut

Assembly: Thread the #8 locknut onto the eyebolt, positioning it at the end of the threads. Hold the loop above the dome, then insert the eyebolt through the dome and screw it securely into the loop. To attach the feeder, tilt it slightly and slip the feeder’s hanging loop over the baffle’s lower eyebolt.
