 Just so-so Feb 08, 2012
By Nicole
Very simple, cheap, and easy, it would seem this feeder would be perfect. I bought it at Lowe's for about the same price on Amazon a few weeks ago. A couple problems: the hook at the top slides around the short section of wire on the cage that it hooks on (maybe an inch total). Just means that it doesn't sit perfectly level. The problem with that is that the birds don't like sitting on the downward-sloping part, so they only use the upward sloping part. I'm going to try modding it so the hook isn't detachable and doesn't slide, but just stays in the middle so it's level. The other issue is that the birds don't like sitting on the front/back of the suet cage, I think because it moves around a lot when they land, but every time they try it, there's a lot of wing flapping for a few seconds before they give up and use the other feeder. This might get better with time. If it does, I will update this review. For now, I would say it's so-so for a suet feeder. I've been looking at nicer more expensive ones, but I'll give this another month (and update this review!)

 Birds love them Feb 24, 2011
By Oregon CATS
Birds seem to use these with the citrus suet blocks more then my feeders. Of course this is winter and possibly the birds need the fat more. Economical and bird's favorite what more could I want!

Other uses for the feeder Dec 11, 2010

The bigger birds had some problems landing and staying on this feeder to feed off the standard sized suet cake I put in it. Smaller birds were not interested. Maybe it would work if you had enough patience. The suet cake was in it for about a week and a half after which I decided to chuck it before it rotted. But the feeder works for putting halved unshelled peanuts for some small birds that steadily work on it. I had to modify the feeder. The holes are too big so I made them smaller by weaving thick transparent nylon threads through them. They are flexible so the birds are able to tease out the peanuts. Not great but at least it's not a total waste. It works for some specific birds that I want to feed undisturbed by the bigger more aggressive birds. The feeder is cheap stuff but easy to manipulate.

Only problem here is that I may have not purchased enough to last since it is going so fast.
