Woodlink Audubon Torpedo Steel Squirrel Baffle Model NATORPEDO

Overview

The Woodlink Audubon Torpedo Squirrel Baffle (Model NATORPEDO) combines rugged build quality with a smart design to protect your feeder setup. Crafted from textured powder-coated steel, this torpedo-shaped baffle is built to weather outdoor conditions while keeping squirrels at bay. Its diameter of 6.125 inches provides a broad shield without hindering birds, and the slide-on style simplifies installation on a one-piece pole.

Designed for versatility, the baffle fits poles ranging from 1/2 inch to 1 3/8 inches in diameter. A compact coupler is included to secure the baffle to the pole, and the bracket hardware is zip-tied inside the unit for a clean, streamlined appearance. When mounted about 4 to 5 feet above the ground, the baffle helps protect seed and nectar supplies while still inviting songbirds to the scene. The result is a practical, durable option for outdoor feeders that relies on your existing pole setup.

The Torpedo Baffle emphasizes a balance of form and function. Its shielded profile reduces wind resistance and minimizes rain intrusion, contributing to a more consistent feeding experience. While no claim is made about guaranteed outcomes, many users appreciate the potential for birds to feed freely while larger visitors are deterred. Regular maintenance is straightforward, and the textured coating adds a layer of resilience against the elements.

How it Works

The baffle uses a simple “slide on” installation. You remove the feeder temporarily, slip the top over a one-piece pole, and secure the unit with the included coupler. This approach eliminates complex hardware and supports quick servicing or refilling of feeders.
