Classic Bird Seed Feeder, Hanging Bird Feeder with Two Perch Ports, Easy to Clean, Suitable for Seeds and Seed Mixes, Durable and UV-Stabilised (300g) - RSPB

So far, so good. The previous seed feeder I had - I think I bought it in-store, in a supermarket - did last quite a long time, but eventually the flip-top broke at the 'hinge', and subsequently kept blowing off in the wind. This one is sturdier (and slightly larger) altogether, and the design of the top is such that it's easy to fill, but fastens securely and won't easily break. I trust RSPB products, having opted for one of their feeder tables and been impressed by how well designed it is. The dull green colour of this feeder is ideal for attracting birds. As others have mentioned, birds don't like/are alarmed by bright colours, especially red, and except possibly for magpies, tend to avoid shiny metal. It always takes them a while to accept new things, especially if very different from what they are used to; novel mean 'potentially dangerous' to birds, who will cautiously wait and see whether anything bad happens to the more adventurous among them, before trying a thing themselves. This feeder is fairly similar to their old one, which I replaced yesterday. Today I have seen tits and sparrows using the new one, so that's a thumbs up. Some reviewers have complained that with various feeders, seeds fall out onto the ground. I don't see how this can be avoided, unless the openings are so tight or so designed that they actually block up, which surely would make the feeder pointless. As it is, 'my' small birds scatter seed when using the feeder, and pigeons, starlings and blackbirds, as well as small birds including dunncks and robins, eat up what falls on the ground. I don't much mind that; I suppose I do sometimes resent the mount of money I spend feeding feral domestic pigeons who've gone over to 'the dark side', haha, but hey they all have their little lives to live and I don't think it's right for humans who feed birds, to be 'species-ist' about who they like, or don't want, in their gardens or yards. Anyway, to get to the point: there are cheaper feeders about, but this is a good one, worth the price imo, and I recommend it.

Overall it is nice! But the squirrels are trying to get in and the plastics are starting to be breaking.

First, class good value for money & works well with nuts for the birds

Good

Arrived fast next day The plastic cover at top does not fit over the mesh but only sits on the top of it I’m sure it’s supposed to sit tightly over mesh Please tell me if I’m correct

Looks good, works well and should keep my birds happy. My previous one had it's wires cut by a bird/squirrel with a saw in it's mouth so am hopeful this wire is everything proof.

The BUT is because a) it's a bit awkward to get the bottom section off and on to clean it, and b) it fails to deter our local Smart Pigeon, who launches himself at it, grabs both perches with his claws, hangs on and gorges as much seed as he can before he loses his grip! So we've had to abandon this feeder for the doughnut-shaped one - see review.

Like a number of other bird feeders I've purchased over time, nothing draws them in like this cheap, old plastic thing so I thought I'd be something similar this time. It took them forever to take to it, but they've eventually started coming in. It's nice that the top doesn't slide off, though it slides up enough and the bars pivot so you can fill it easily. Yes, it's plastic and not fancy looking, but the birds don't care. I'm just glad they're coming in. I think it works very well.

Resulta robusto y de muy buenos materiales,muy bien acabado.

Great Tits, Blue Tits, Woodpecker and Tree Creepers are what regularly use our feeder, also the odd mouse.. Quality is fine and the holes are big enough that with a certain amount of work, they can occasionally can get a half piece of a peanut out.. Which for me is fine as I do want to feed the birds and not just watch them fighting for life.. just getting a titbit every now and then.

Super zufrieden, sieht wie auf dem Bild aus. Werde bald noch ein Stück bestellen!

Les oiseaux sont heureux

Lo utilizo para alimentar aves silvestres en mi jardín, con una mezcla de semillas de girasol, alpiste, cañamón, negrillo y cacahuetes crudos que compro habitualmente en una tienda de animales. Está colgado en un limonero, a la intemperie, y todos los días lo visitan pinzones, carboneros, gorriones y herrerillos. Funciona perfectamente, aunque yo le he incorporado un plato de plástico de una macera en la parte inferior para que evitar que las semillas que tiran al suelo los pájaros al alimentarse crezcan sobre el césped del jardín. Muy recomendable para los amantes de las aves.
