 worked for awhile Oct 11, 2006
By moderate user
Well, it seemed to work for a few months. Then the plastic inserts began to fall out and the seed won't stay in. I cut some plastic replacements from a milk jug and these worked for a month or so, but more of the originals keep falling out. Three are gone, and the feeder is not a year old yet. My feeder hangs under the house overhang and so is not rained on; no problems with the spring, though the "stop" that keeps the cage from going too far down fell out fairly soon (I just put a piece of wire in its place). Grackle can feed at this feeder well. Larger birds such as blue jays and a large woodpecker will occasionally hang onto it in some way, but they don't persist. Purple finch and gold finch like it; I get some cardinals even (with black oil sunflower).

Short term effectiveness May 11, 2006
By Paul R. Burton
This feeder worked brilliantly when it was new.
A spring of heavy rains rusted out the mechanism so severely that it stopped falling smoothly and my little furry friends figured out how to hang so the cage wouldn't budge.
Not effective after one season.

 Looks good, limited effectiveness Mar 13, 2007

Let's face it, squirrels are just rats with bushy tails. They can gnaw, thwart, ruin and get into ANYTHING. This feeder is no exception. It only slows them down...a bit. Our PhD squirrels learned how to just push the entire feeder sideways so seed just trails out...this after the weather/squirrel gnawing combo ruined the mechanisms that allowed the holes to close down. It looks pretty. Just don't expect it to be squirrel proof.

Pesky squirrels have ruined it Aug 28, 2006
By D. Cattoi
This birdfeeder looks very nice and is extremely attractive to hang in your yard. However, I have had trouble with some very adamant squirrels about eating the birdseed. I had even put out a squirrel feeder away from the bird feeder, but they kept coming back and once they jumped on this birdfeeder, the spring attached outer grid pulled down and stayed down and the little metal attachements that held it up broke off. I bought 3 of these feeders and all three were broken within the first week of being hung outside. They were hung off greased poles over 6 feet off the ground. One of the feeders came detached from the top and crashed to the ground when a squirrel jumped on it. Maybe my squirrels are just oversized (hardly, they are little and ratty) and extremely rough, but these feeders just weren't worth what I paid for them. Now i have three broken feeders and laughing squirrels!

 Initially wonderful- then mechanism not durable Jul 24, 2006
By Mark T. Linenberg

We purchased this about 2 months ago. The first month it worked flawless. Now- we've had a little rain, and rust is appearing all over- and we have been in a drought. Also, squirrels have interferred with spring squirrel be gone system- so it does not slide properly- partially due to rust- which allows either- a- squirrels to feed or b- birds not able to feed. I would not suggest purchasing it.
