“Very realistic for a plastic hopper. You can't really tell it's not real wood unless you study it up close. Othewise, it looks like a solid hopper. It has good weight to it, and is not cheaply made. The rope attached to it is nylon, so it should last quite a while exposed to the outdoors. The rest of the materials, including the screws, plastics, and hinges, appear to be rust-free, so it should hold up for some time. It's very easy to fill this with feed, and doesn't make a mess when doing so.”
“My son found this bird feeder. He is into all that stuff now. He got some bird seed from school and now wants to be feeding all the birds in the backyard. Good size feeder too. Heavy duty”
“Tried out the Hopper bird feeder, Spruce Creek Collection. And it was actually pretty good. Nice and sturdy, decent weight to it, and very easy to hang. Also very easy to add the bird seed. Haven't had any trouble with the weather messing it up in any way.has actually held up well through the wind and rain we've been having. So definitely happy with this one.”
“I love the look of this bird feeder! All wood, well made, and gorgeous hanging from our tree. The middle compartment holds lots of birdseed and it has been so fun watching the birds come. I haven’t had any trouble with squirrels getting to the seed.”
“I got this a few weeks ago but we had a major snowstorm and couldn't use it..... this is very well made its light as you can see in the picture its on our light post........ it is really easy to put the birdseed in and is beautifully designed too........”
“I just got the Backyard Nature Product's Hopper Bird Feeder (in natural teak). Part of their Spruce Creek Collection, this bird feeder is built to last.
Starting at the top, the string is made from thick nylon. So, it won't biodegrade and cause the feeder to fall. Hardware is brass and the roof hinge is made from aluminum. So neither will rust. The feeder body is made from recycled plastic. So it will not split, crack, or fade… unlike natural wood. The viewing "glass"/seed retaining walls are sturdy. On the side where the roof opens, the panel slides out for easy cleaning. Finally, the seed tray on the bottom of the feeder is powder coated aluminum screen. So, it won't rust, looks great, and will keep seed drier, as moisture can run through the seed (vs drowning the seed in water, like traditional non-screened trays). We're in late winter here in Central PA. I plan to put this feeder out for the chickadees, finches, sparrows, woodpeckers, and cardinals in the early Spring to show it off when it's nice and sunny out. ;)
Recommended? Absolutely. This feeder is a solid four-star all the way. Please understand that a four-star is high praise in my book in that the product does exactly what it says it should.”
“Very sturdy, and high quality bird feeder. Can hold lots of bird food. The rope seems sturdy and able to hold the feeder with ease. Although I am unsure, I believe the feeder is made of solid wood. I don’t particularly care for the wood tone, so I’ll probably try to find a stain or paint that is safe for the birds.”
