“The feeder is larger than expected, and the quality is very good. The birds do not seem to appreciate this as they are not using it much, and seem to prefer my cheaper feeders instead even though they all have the same seed in them.”
It sounds like you've got a high-quality feeder that just isn't winning over the birds! Sometimes, it takes a bit for them to adjust to a new feeding setup. They might prefer the familiarity of the cheaper feeders or find them easier to access.
You might try positioning the new feeder in a more visible spot or even placing it closer to where they usually feed. Adding some cover nearby can also help them feel safer while they explore. Give it some time; once they realize it's a good option, they might come around!
“This is my third feeder one lasted over4years the other is still in use. The one that I replaced was destroyed by a deer. I did have to replace parts to one of them due to squirrel damage to metal but it was easily done and much cheaper than buying a complete new one.They are sturdy and easy to take apart and clean.”
“Two fo the 4 perches are not tight against the storage container. This is why we replaced our old one. All 4 came loose and birds couldn't get close enough to feed from the holes.”
“What I like about it especially is the circular "awning" above perches--it helps keeps rain from getting inside, ruining the birdseed. The feeder also has a large capacity so you don't have to refill it often.”
“This works great for little birds. Bigger birds can't take over the feeder. I fill this feeder once a week or less. Have to fill other feeders daily.”
“The bird feeder is a good deterent for those rascals but the have a way of performing acrobatic tricks. The birds love the feeder. Only had it couple of weeks. Well see it it holds up to the elements.”
