“This is a nice larger-than-most of this type of feeder. It holds lots of seeds and has a nice large tray around the bottom that catches all the seeds that fall out and is big enough for larger birds to land on. Well made and sturdy.”
“Have used this feeder for over 10 years It has been battered by a bear a couple of times, but I just had to straighten the mesh and it was (almost) as good as new. Easy to fill and holds a good amount of seed. The mid-size birds, cardinal, grosbeak, jays, etc. like this feeder because it provides a good perch for leisurely feeding.
I just bought two more to hang on a new bear proof pole that I installed so I didn't have to take the feeders in every night in the Spring and Fall.”
“The new model with the braided wire for hanging is not good. You should have left the original model alone. It had a metal rod for support. The raccoons will twist this new braided wire until the strands break. Then the lid will not raise and you can't refill it ! The old model with the metal rod was a good idea. This one is not. I have used the metal rod from my original model and combined it with the new parts to create a raccoon proof bird feeder.”
