“Birds prefer this feeder over my other feeders but it needs more ports. Having only four ports limits feeding times and exacerbates the queue. The rain guard was not needed as a large umbrella cover does well. Filling and cleaning is easy.”
“I have been through many different types of feeders over the years, the last ones being Roam Wild. Although they were great for keeping the seed dry, they were difficult to clean and I had to refill every couple of days. This feeder not only keep the birds and seed dry, I only have to refill every couple of weeks which is great.”
“Love this feeder; it is not really that difficult to put together and you can adjust the shield level even after assembly. It holds a lot of seed and there is a baffle on the inside bottom to allow smooth feed into the ports. I have it hanging from tree with a baffle above it; keeps the top clean from poops. It has thwarted the squirrels (even the red one!) and the blackbirds, starlings and redwings are unable to perch. Woodpeckers and smaller birds have no problem. The inside has some condensation occasionally overnight, but clears with sun up. Really happy with this feeder as it keeps the pesty ones at”
“Very sturdy Birds Choice Hanging Classic Bird Feeder with Baffle Weather Guard but it is only 12 inches. Only the small birds can actually feed from this. The cardinals and doves can't fit. If your only feeding smaller birds this is perfect.”
“I’ve finally found the PERFECT bird feeder! This feeder is so well made and well thought out. One thing people never think about is water traveling down the rope/wire suspending the feeder. The hanger for this feeder is connected at the sides, not on the lid. Check! Also, large black birds invade my feeders and waste 90% of the feed. This feeder has a clear baffle that slides down the outer tube making it too short for the larger birds to stand on the perches and feed. Now the little finches, and cardinals can eat in peace! Check! There is also a removable diverter of sorts that prevents too much feed from pouring out and being wasted. Check! The perches and feeding holes are metal and even the woodpeckers can’t hurt it. Check! I’ve had the feeder now for almost a month and the feed is still fresh and the birds love it. Before purchasing this feeder I would fill my old feeder weekly with most of it on the ground or the feed was wet and clogged up. I live in SW Florida and it’s raining season now. We’ve had several windy rains and the feed in this feeder never got wet! Check!! Don’t hesitate buying this feeder, it’s the most PERFECT feeder you’ll ever own.”
