Squirrels had taken over my bird feeders to the point that birds would not come. Nothing worked until I purchased this Squirrel proof bird feeder. There is a weight limit on the feeder. When the squirrel attempt to feed, the feeder tray closes so they can not access the food. Yet the birds light weight is within range that the feeder remains open during feeding. I absolutely love it.
Feeder does a pretty good job keeping out squirrels, however, they do eventually figure out how to remove the top. Design needs to be improved for a better lid locking mechanism. As a fix, I criss-crossed chains across the top that then hooked to the sides of the feeder. Also, and possibly worst of all, water gets into this feeder very easily and ruins all the food. I've never had that issue with other feeders. I ended up wasting many, many pounds of expensive seed in my few months with this feeder. Do not recommend until it's improved.
We had the red one before this it started leaking rain, then rusted maybe 2yrs old.. I thought green is different. I like it but hard to see the birds (dark).. I gave a 3*** because it was not packed good enough and the one side got bent. I popped it out, but it isn't great. I do like this kind, but my squirrel figured it out. They got to eat too...
We took off the hanger because it was in the way of filling the feeder. (we mounted it on a pole) We've only had it a few weeks- the sparrows fight over it and the squirrels have popped off a couple of springs, so the mechanism doesn't work quite right.
We have had a problem with squirrels jumping from the ground to jump on our other feeders. They only tried with this one once. When they grabbed the perch it closed the feeding ports and no seed was lost to the ground. It did take the birds a while to figure it out, but after several days our backyard birds are enjoying it.
