A very easy squirrel proof feeder which is easy to fill and take apart for cleaning. The lid screws down so clever as squirrels are, they shouldn't be able to get into it.
“Positive. It certainly keeps the squirrels out. The tits gradually found their way in, but the nuthatch didn't. It is robust and looks as though it will last.
a big plus point: it is easy to clean
negative: it is fiddly to open and close. You have to press the flat-headed screw at the bottom while undoing the top. Could this be made easier to hold firm? Otherwise the central rod falls out. You have to then screw the top on exactly right: too loose and it falls off, too tight and you can't reopen it.”
“This feeder is very popular with small birds, but the six port yellow Niger feeder purchased at the same time is not successful. No Goldfinches will not anywhere go near it !”
“Arrived as per delivery date and so far has baffled the squirrels! The blue tits took about 3 days to get used to it robins a little longer, I'm pleased with it.”
“Seems to have kept the squirrels out of the seed.
Birds taking a time - 1 week - to find their way into a new feeder. Blue tits first.
Pleased with the sturdy metal frame etc but have to be careful to screw the top on fully after refilling otherwise it just falls off after a little while.”
“The feeder itself is well made and appears to be squirrel proof so far, which is the reason I bought it. It's been hanging up for a while, since I bought it, but the birds still shy away from it. I use it for well-chopped peanuts rather than seed (already have two seed feeders) but the nuts don't drop down easily into the bowl - they clog up and I have to shake the feeder vigorously to fill up the dish. So looks like I'll have to find another option.”
“Delighted with my purchase, as usual arrived when it said it would etc
It’s filled with rape seed which I’m assured the finches love, however it is sited close to the sunflower seed feeders which are in use from dawn till dusk and the lantern is well and truly ignored!
Am working on the problem”
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback, I apologise that the feeder has not been better suited.
We will pass on our comments on to the manufacturer so that they can look at improving the design of this feeder.
