“This is the 3rd of these we have bought. First was in NJ in 1980's. Second was rpobably 10 years later. The third was bought because the birds were having a problem getting seed from the rusting bottom. We are in damp humid Texas now. This feeder is the best and I hope the bottom will hold up for our lifetime. I'd recommend to anyone. The squirrels hate it!!!”
“I have been using this model for years now. I have two of them adjacent with a cedar catch box
beneath. Keep them clean inside so moisture does not affect the metal tray base. Just replaced one
of them. The neighborhood favorite. There are dozens of birds who frequent these all year long.”
“My girlfriend and I were lucky enough to see our acrobat squirrel climb the pole and with super strength it managed to launch itself a third of the way up the green anti squirrel baffle, then gravity took over and it was on the ground and running away. It was a great victory against that little critter that had climbed our last bird feeder at will.
As for the bird Feeder itself we are pleased. It has become a gathering place for many birds. They pirch and reach in to get the seeds and do but some are very sloppy eaters and seeds end up on the ground. Oh you say that's not good. BUT it is as there are far more birds wanting to eat than there are perches. Keep in mind there are 4 other feeders at our neighbor's just 20ft away.
Attatched is a very short vid showing the many birds on perches, birds flying around looking for a free perch and many on the ground cleaning up the dropped seeds.”
“I bought one 8 years ago and it's till functioning, though a little beat up from falling on the ground. I really bought a new one with an extension pole so I could see the birds close to my window (so the feeder needed to be taller). The birds love it, and it prevents squirrels from eating all the seed. It's the only feeder that has lasted so long. So, it has been good value for the money.”
“Due to a couple of black bear sightings, I’m afraid that my new feeder was up for only a day. Looking forward to autumn. I’m impressed with the design and the quality.”
