Good Feeder with One Flaw Jul 31, 2008
By KMM I have had a couple of these feeders and they are wonderful for repelling rain and squirrels (if mounted properly). The big flaw is the plastic is not very tough and, if the feeder falls to the ground, it usually shatters. I have put more than one back together with duct tape, but I would love to see this type of feeder made with a bit sturdier construction material.

Not Durable Dec 30, 2007
By T. Jackson 3 days after I received it the wind knocked it off the chain and it fell to the ground and shattered! I guess $60 dosen't buy unbreakable plastic.

Great Bird Feeder Jul 25, 2007
By Darla Nolan We had a feeder like this for many years until my husband dropped it and it shattered from age. I immediately sent for another. It holds alot of seed, is protected from rain by the lid. The birds love it and the squirrels cannot get to it. It really works. It's a great product! D. from Napa, CA

Great Feeder But Needs Stronger Construction May 24, 2009
By gman I'm going to reiterate what a number of other reviewers have stated. Conceptually this is a great feeder that gives my backyard squirrels the fits. The downside is the feeder's fragility. When empty a 4 foot fall onto grass cracked both the baffle and the tub. If it had been full it no doubt would have shattered. This perplexed me as I have 2 mandarin baffles that I purchased years ago for other feeders. These have survived worse falls with no damage. When comparing them I can see the older ones are noticeably thicker. The V wire that attaches the tub to the baffle is also much too thin. If you lift a full tub holding one side of the V it bends out of shape. If you want to fill this feeder with sunflower seed consider getting the the portal opening version that has perches instead of a tray as the tray soon fills with husks. The large seed capacity cries out for more robust construction. I love this feeder but I wish it was built to last.
Edit: After trying the portal version for sunflower I have to retract my earlier suggestion. While the husks do collect on the tray of the Sky Cafe, some breeze and bird rooting activity will keep it from getting too bad. On the other hand on the portal version with the perches the portals will fill with husks with no easy way to clear them.

The birds love it! Mar 26, 2006
By Janice E. Smith

I placed the bird feeder off my deck, which is high enough so I can see it from my sunroom. There have been lots of birds use it, and in all our rain the food has not gotten wet.
I'm anticipating that the construction will be such to last for many years.
