Attract finches to your yard with this reliable, heavy-duty bird feeder. The sturdy metal top and base are powder-coated in yellow and resist chipping or fading, while the metal perches resist squirrel chewing. The durable UV-stabilized polycarbonate tube keeps seed levels visible so you know when it's time to refill. The feeder can be hung by its stainless steel bail wire, and the threaded base allows for pole-mounting or the attachment of a seed tray.
Cleaning: Dirty bird feeders spread disease. We recommend cleaning your feeders weekly, or
monthly at a minimum. Do not put your feeder in the dishwasher as the high temperatures can permanently damage the
feeder parts. Clean your feeders outdoors with a large bucket, and always wear gloves when cleaning. Soak your
feeder in a 9:1 solution of water and bleach for 15 minutes. Then use a bird feeder brush to scrub the feeder with
dish soap and water. Refill when completely dry.

Disappointed. Birds having a difficult time accessing the seeds, and fly away

Oct 2, 2022
Because the perches for this feeder do not face the seed ports, and are very small, my local birds can't feed without sharply twisting their bodies. This looks uncomfortable and awkward, and the birds just can't land. They flutter around the port, because they can't get a grip-- then just fly away and not return. My previous feeder had larger u-shaped perches, so birds could comfortably face the feed port. and it was always busy. Also, the sides of this feeder are smooth, so birds can't get a grip except on the very short perches. Looking for a better design now. My $35 spent on this one was wasted.
Very disappointed with the design of this feeder. Holes way to small for birds to access thistle seed and have to contort themselves to try and get seed. The bottom perches are totally worthless. What were they thinking when designing this feeder. Been out for weeks and although they try, they give up after a few minutes of not getting seed. Not worthy of the Droll Yankee name.
I bought this a few months ago at Country Max to replace my other tube feeder that had just gotten worn out. Initially I didn't like the fact that there are only 3 perches instead of the usual 4 that could have easily been added towards the top, so less birds can feed at one time on this feeder. But the deal breaker is that somehow, water gets into the seed during heavy rains. I've had 2 whole feeders' full of seed (and as everyone knows, it is very expensive) ruined by water & had to clean it all out, dry out the feeder, & then refill it. The only thing I could see where this could possibly happen is at the bottom, which, by the company's description, has a "threaded base", so it's possible that water can seep up through those holes. When washing out the ruined seed, water will freely pour out the bottom of the feeder. Whether or not this is a factory defect, or a defect in my feeder alone, I don't know, but I do know that I wasted my 35 dollars and have to buy a different (hopefully better) feeder. And this is made in the USA.....very disappointing.
I am kind of gobsmacked by the negative reviews on this. The goldfinches, finches, sparrows, and juncos that fed on my other thistle feeders had no issues transitioning to this one. In fact, they flocked to it.
They've had no problems getting seeds from it, which means I'm having to make bi-weekly runs to get more thistle seed. The birds here are loving it to death.
Maybe the lesser reviews have birds that are not used to this type of feeder? I don't know, I can only guess, but the birds here are very accustomed to this type of feeder, so they've had no issues figuring out the new one.
Also, I've had no issues with water. Or squirrels.
Would highly recommend to others who have birds that are accustomed to thistle feeders.
I am sorry to see some of the reviews here. This feeder has been great for the intermountain western US.
No water issues despite rain and snow this winter. No issues attracting finches, redpolls, and junior.
We have other, smaller thistle feeders, so our birds have had no issues feeding at the new one, and even seem to prefer it. They will empty this thing out in less than a month! Highly recommended.
