It is made from heavy duty metal and is built to last.The strong metal ports close when a larger bird of squirrel lands on the perch. If the perches are spring-loaded, they are triggered by the heavier weight of a large bird. This causes the door over the food portal to close, cutting off access to the seeds and nuts. Once the weight is removed (i.e. the bird flies away), the door opens again and the feed is available once more.
