Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This 1-1/2-pound-capacity copper bird feeder is easy to fill (simply lift the top) and has a removable seed-saver tray. With three feeding stations, all your feathered friends will be well fed. The feeder comes in a classy box (complete with full-color photo ribbon) and is fully assembled, making this a fantastic gift for bird lovers. And don't forget the lifetime warranty: "Sorry squirrels, OffShoots warranties this Expeditions feeder for the lifetime of the product. Take your nasty little rodent teeth elsewhere." The copper will acquire a gorgeous patina as it ages, and the bird feeder will be around for years to come, frustrating generations of squirrels. --Ariel Meadow Stallings

Product Description

The copper cage takes on new hues as it weathers while foiling those unwanted squirrels. An integrated funnel makes filling fast and easy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bird Proof Squirrel Feeder, June 6, 2001

Note- this paragraph is an edit to my original review (below) made a few months later. I have finally thrown these units in the trash. The seed holes kept clogging due to rainwater accumulation. I kept making both the drain and seed holes larger but just couldn't overcome the inherent bad design. I am as defeated by these things a badly as the squirrels were NOT. (Original review follows)
I purchased two of these because they were small enough to fit small sheperd hooks and I had hoped they would keep large birds and squirrels away from the feed. What I found I had was two damage resistant squirrel feeders. I often wonder if the designers of bird feeders are embarrassed when it is proven that they are dumber than squirrels. The grey beasts took about 30 seconds to defeat the top-of-feeder catches and help themselves to all they want. Why don't designers ever use a thumb screw to hold the tops on? I've never seen a squirrel defeat a thumb screw (not yet anyhow). Meanwhile the bird feeding seed holes clogged and prevented any seed from flowing into the tray, thus the only seed the birds obtained was what the squirrels dropped. After attaching springs to the top to hold it down, increasing the size of the drainage holes in the bottom (they also tend to retain water) and using drill and knife to enlarge the seed holes, I've gotten these working somewhat as I had intended them. I have had to add squirrel cones to my sheperd hooks to help keep the critters off these feeders. Unless you, like me, happen to particularly need a small feeder that excludes large birds and are willing to modify the basic product until it operates properly, I would give these a pass.

1.0 out of 5 stars they can't eat!, May 3, 2002

i don't have a problem with squirrels trying to get in--i have a problem with birds trying to get in! they don't have enough support or room to eat from this feeder. i put up my old ...plastic ugly job and the seed was gone in 2 days. i put this one up and i didn't see a bird for 4 months--except for the few poor woodpeckers who banged their head on the glass middle and then flew away without success.

1.0 out of 5 stars Far from squirrel proof, March 17, 2001

Unless they mean solely that squirrels cannot CHEW through the cage, they can get the seeds easily. They simply scoop them out with thier paws. Not much effort on the part of the squrriel. Hardly frustrating for them...Very frustrating for you.
