 Great for a little while... May 26, 2005
By A. Robinson
"Fyreseer"
I bought this bird feeder last year. The birds really enjoyed it, and the squirrels had to take the leavings they dropped... However, it no longer works this year, because the springs that operate it have broken. They are on the outside, exposed to the weather, and they just didn't last long enough. The other thing, is that the squirrels learned to grab ahold of it and shake it, which sprayed the seed out for them to get. I'm looking at a new feeder, this time with the springs on the *inside*!

 Simply the best! Jun 14, 2006
By LinnyJ
I've had this feeder for two years and simply love it! No squirrel has defeated it's clever locking mechansim and now leave it completely alone. Ours hangs from a deck railing way up in the trees. It holds a good amount of seed and is easy to fill. The numerous metal perches allow many birds to feed at once. Other so called "squirrel proof" types simply did not do the job and I would not buy any other kind from now on.

 Cannot find replacement springs Jan 14, 2006
By Richard Howarth
Checked and filled the feeder with sunflower seeds, hung it outside and visually checked the seed level from inside the house. I had seen very little bird activity on the feeder which I put down to the fact that there were fewer birds around because of snow on the ground and the feeder was new. The squirrels, however, paid periodic visits.
After 2 weeks I checked the feeder closely only to find both springs were missing which I have to assume were inadvertently dislodged by the squirrels. I found one spring but the feeder needs two. Since I cannot find replacement springs I will return this to the store.

 guillotine Apr 27, 2008
By J. Morris
Do NOT buy this bird feeder. It seemed like a good idea---until one of my beautiful Cardinals had her head in/near the port and a larger bird landed on the feeder, closing the ports---and breaking the neck of the Cardinal. I still regret so much that I bought this feeder. It is a bird GUILLOTINE!!!

Price, durability, effectiveness Jul 03, 2006
By Tom E. Diffenbach
"U-niverse.com"
Price: Other stores (e.g., Lowe's) should charge under $20. Durabilty: We've used several and had springs wear out over a couple of years. Except for the springs, the units are well-made. At this price, replacement springs should be readily available. Effectiveness: These are a good test for squirrels but some squirrels learn how to pass the test in various ways.:) When we had two feeders 20" apart, a squirrel learned to put most of its its weight on one while eating from the other. Another squirrel learned that by being on upside down and humping its weight vertically, it had a split second to gets its paw in the opening and then pull out paw and seed without injury. Bottom-line prediction: a fairly good product that'll work until the springs sag and the squirrels figure it out.
