Helpfulness
Very poor dispersion.
Mar 22, 2025
Very poor dispersion. Not only prevents squirrels from feeding, but also birds. The ports easily clog and seeds remain stuck. It needs much more design work.

Pro: The cover keeps squirrels off.
Con: The feeder does not dispense black sunflower seeds after the birds have eaten the seeds in the tray.

The seed gets stuck in the openings. I use sunflower seed. I don't recommend this product.
Mixed feelings.

Mixed feelings.
Love the feeder and birds went right to it after a day or two. Squirrels haven’t bothered with it which is good because I feed the birds next to the squirrels tree. Mix feelings comes in because it was out just a week or so and the first rain storm the seed inside is soggy now.

For some reason, the birds ignore this feeder! I used the same seed I use in other feeders. Then I tried different seed. I moved it from place to place. Would not buy again!
Soggy & frozen bird seed

This is by far the worst bird feeder I’ve purchased. It allows moisture to get inside the seed area and then the bird feed either swells or freezes.
Money lost on this one.

This birdfeeder, although seems well built & looks good, it's garbage! Every time it rains, the birdseed will clump up & you will have to painstakingly break up the seed to remove.

Not as advertised
May 1, 2023
Not as advertised, you can't use seed mixes in this. The holes that feed the seed out of the main tube are way too small. It might work for pure millet but that's about it.
It doesn't attract squirrels though, so I guess that's a plus but that's only because not a living thing, squirrel or bird, can get any seed out of this thing.

We are sorry to hear about this! Birds are creatures of habit and can take some time to adjust to a new feeder. You may want to try relocating it or temporarily removing any established feeders until this one is being utilized. Please feel free to contact us directly at 800-352-9164 for additional assistance. We're happy to help!
Not thrilled

Once a squirrel lands on a perch and locks the black sunflower seeds down, I need to reset it so birds can get seeds again. Squirrels have chewed the clear plastic on the inside of the feeder and created sharp edges. Black sunflower seeds do not readily fall into the small seed cup - I need to give the feeder a shake for seeds to fill cup.
