Ground Guard
The Ground Guard will help protect birds feeding in your garden from predators, and protect the food from unwanted feeders.
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

Sturdy little guard for a ground feeder. The birds like it! The fastenings are not very robust, but we have added a twist of rubber covered wire at each corner, which is holding the pieces together more firmly. Otherwise we are pleased with it, & it looks better than our tatty old wire guard.

Sturdy, and robust, very well made. Keeps out the pigeons and other large birds while allowing the small birds to eat. Also keeps them safe from neighbours cats.

Bought the guard with the larger openings. Works very well, blackbirds are able to get in and out comfortably and love the live mealworms we bought at the same time. The cage excludes the pesky pigeons and most of the magpies although the young magpies are able to get in. Fortunately we do not suffer from squirrels so cannot comment on how effective the cage would be against them.

Cage itself is very good and super easy to assemble. My only issue is that it does not stop magpies getting in and I did not realise this before purchasing. Description of the product clearly states is prevents pigeons (which it does) and I incorrectly assumed it would also prevent magpies.
21/06/2021Mrs danielle Mills
Very happy with these. It allows the smaller birds to feed unhindered while the pigeons, jackdaws and crows are kept out. Great.
17/06/2021Graeme Kerr
Just works so well. Sturdy and simple to assemble.
29/06/2020Carolyn Triscott
Excellent quality. just what we wanted to keep birds safe from cats. holes big enough for blackbirds and starlings to get in but keeps magpies and pigeons out. recommend.

Ideal for protecting the food and the birds. In full use

These has certainly stopped pigeons wreaking havoc with my alpine pans. They will be useful for putting down for ground feeders as well when the year is more advanced. Easy to assemble and delivery was very prompt.

The ground guard was very easy assemble and the birds enjoy it very much.

A good product, well made and it should last a long time. It keeps the pigeons out whilst letting the smaller ground feeders hop in and out. Unfortunately the squirrels can easily get through as well so it hasn’t solved that problem.
26/12/2019Thomas Pender
Has worked very well, used by blackbirds but also tits and my turkeys which have necks long enough to reach in :(
22/11/2019Cedric gibbons
Very pleased simple but affective
23/09/2019Dr John sudd
Well made and excludes greedy blackbirds, but not starlings! Maybe Welsh starlings are thinner than yours in Lincs.
18/06/2019Mrs j Dodd
Very easy to assemble. Holes a bit bigger than expected. Value for money
16/06/2019Mrs vanda Balfour
found it a bit difficult to put together but now that is done the blackbirds seem very pleased with it and the wood pigeons are not thank goodness. However Starlings are appearing in the garden now we are in April so there is quite a lot of competition going on!

We bought this to keep pigeons away from the ground seed mix....and it works perfectly! Easily assembled, though I thought the holes would be too small for blackbirds, but I was wrong. Within 10mins the blackbirds, sparrows, starlings, finches etc were hopping in and out whilst the Wood and feral pigeons looked on trying to reach the food.
22/04/2019Mrs felicity beaumont
Just what I needed to exclude pheasants, rooks and woodpigeon. It only took 30 minutes for the dunnocks to hop in, and blackbirds followed shortly afterwards.
15/04/2019Dr Nicola burbidge
Lovely to see the birds happily using this
30/03/2019Mr howard Cattle
Yesterday I sent in a review saying that I was disappointed that the blackbirds couldn't get through the mesh. I take it all back. They have today demonstrated that they can happily hop in and out and help themselves to their live food along side robins and sparrows... Thank you.
19/03/2019Mr edward Ruffell
16/03/2019Mrs jenny Cox
A brilliant idea. Now we can feed a variety of birds without feeding the pigeons and magpies.
16/02/2019Mrs jill Thomas
I bought this to stop the pigeons grabbing all the ground feed intended for blackbirds, robins, dunnocks et cetera. Food is indeed periodically taken from the ground feeder I placed inside. The clip that secures the hinged lid looks like it will break shortly – doesn’t seem intended for daily use. Strangest thing – some creature regularly goes inside the ground guard and piles up twigs and bark on top of the seed. What’s that all about?!
12/02/2019Ms Rosemary atkins
Very good for ground feeding birds up to the size of blackbirds, without food being taken by birds such as pigeons or pheasants. Food should always be placed in a small ground tray with the tray taken in overnight so as not to attract rats. Also, even though the guard comes with metal hooks to secure it to the ground, if food is left in overnight, badgers will break the guard apart to get the food. The food can be kept dry all day, if a sheet of timber, held down by a brick, is placed on the top of the guard, but this is not provided. I used a guard for many years, but when I moved house, I left it for the new residents to continue using it, so have just purchased another for my new garden.

Just the job
I have just received the large mesh ground guard and the blackbirds are delighted. As far as I am concerned it has already paid for itself as it is keeping the pigeons and Jackdaws out.
