Our backyard friends love it too! This feeder is an absolutely beautiful blue color. It is very well made and seems very durable. We have had some cloudy days here and the rainy season will begin soon. I believe this feeder will hold up very well in the rain. The feeder is easy to fill and very easy to clean. As soon as I put it out and filled it with seed our black-capped chickadees jumped right in. They really enjoy the feeder. We see a variety of birds daily here and have even seen a forest pigeon in the feeder!
