The ultimate in elegance and innovation, these removable base bird feeders come apart and reassemble in seconds
for the speediest clean
ever. Convenient one-touch opening allows the feeder to be filled with one hand, even when hanging.The seed tray and comfort perches attract a greater variety of birds. The cap, base and ports are powder-coated in a striking black. The UV-stabilized polycarbonate tube keeps seed levels visible and is reliably durable. The internal seed baffle design directs seed to the ports so that the feeder empties completely.
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.

I bought this feeder because I could clean it. But, the birds have not eaten from it. I made sure to buy fresh seed. I hung the feeder in the same location where I had previously hung thistle feeders which the finches visited. I live in an area where we get rain once a week or so. With 50% of the feeding stations at the bottom of the feeder, the birds have little access to ‘dry’ seed if rain has occurred.
I am disappointed in this as a feeder. It does have easy access for cleaning. Because birds don’t feed from it, I will buy the less expensive feeders that I used prior to this purchase.
I have owned this feeder for 1 year.
I too purchased this feeder and it's been up a full month and the birds don't go near it. They''l land but won't feed. Extremely disappointed. Which I read reviews before I purchased it. The one 4 star on this site was rated without even using it... Really? It is well made for sure and every other Droll Yankees feeder I've purchased over many years were are great. This one - NOT!
I even removed other feeders and they still didn't eat... No stars for me but I couldn't submit without at least 1 star.
Size is just right for weekly or biweekly filling, I mix safflower with a special finch feed (thistle, shaved sunflower) to attach a wider variety of birds including woodpecks, cardinals, grosbeaks, A seed tray will enhance the attracted some ground feeder birds, too. A weather shield &/or baffle keeps the whole tube protected in wet weather.
