We were looking for a bird feeder that would keep the squirrels from eating all the food. We had tried others, but the squirrels out here seemed to enjoy eating through the wire / plastic / wood. This one is perfect because of the design - the squirrels try to get at it, but it spins and tilts, knocking them off (we have it hung on a hook that projects a good 12" from the post on our deck). Also, the way the panels are designed keeps the food in instead of dumping it on the ground when the squirrels spin and tilt it. Another plus is that the bigger birds (blue jays, crows, and yes, TURKEYS - they get on the deck railing to eat, but can't get to this one) can't use this one comfortably at all. We are very pleased with this bird feeder and plan on buying another.

This birdfeeder has enough going against it that I wouldn't purchase it if given another chance. The central wire makes it swing much more in the wind, making it difficult for birds to feed on a windy day. Although the cover has a button to hold the lid in place, on windy days, the button doesn't hold well and the bird food dumps all over the ground. Also, the plastic windows aren't big enough and are barely held in place by the 2 metal clips that line the side of each edge. The plastic fell out when the wind blew my feeder off a really secure branch. However, at least it didn't break. So, overall, I'm not happy with this feeder and wouldn't recommend it to others.

This is a great bird feeder. It is large enough to hold 5lbs. of feed, but not so big it bends the tree branch down. It is a very nice feeder and is made of high quality material. I am very happy with this feeder and so are the birds.

the feeder holes on this feeder are too big for small seed so i bought chunky stuff with nuts and fruit, nice idea and the song birds loved it. unfortunately so did the squirrels and grackles. the grackles got frustrated because they couldn't get to the food the conventional way so they began to fly at it (I swear) to get it swinging and dump the food on the ground. the benefit for them was that the top came off too -- easier access! the squirrels then promptly figured out how to pop the top as well. i have stopped using it.

I'm disappointed with this product. I agree with the reviewer who said that the wire with the plastic button doesn't hold the cover firmly in place. This makes the food spill all over the ground. The holes are too big, too. I put tape on the inside over the openings to make them smaller so if the feeder tips less spills out. Also, when you fill it, it's too easy for the plastic sides to get dislodged--then the food really pours out. On top of all this, the birds seem to prefer my $7.99 feeder from the hardware store. I'm not going to toss this, but I wouldn't buy it again. More trouble than it's worth, and wasteful.

This bird feeder is attractive to look at, but does not hold up
under squirrel invasion. The top does not fit securely, thus allowing entrance to the top of the feeder and then they empty it
quickly. We wired it together, but that makes it hard to fill up.
If squirrels inhabit your yard I would not reccommend!!

This is a very attractive feeder, but the problems I have will keep me from buying another.
The slide-clip opens with very little pressure - the squirrels pop it open every third or fourth landing.
The wire hanger is close to breaking near the slide-clip.
The slide-clip is a marvelous idea, but the application is weak.
It is very simple to clean. The side panels lift out so they can be thoroughly scrubbed, and once they are out, the inside of the feeder is easily accessible.

Birdfeeder has a couple of design flaws that make it unuseable as far as our yard goes. The top does not fit secure on top (slips off with the slightest bump) and the press clip slide on the wire that releases the top to move up and down does not hold securely. Therefore... top is easily set askew when a squirrel jumps causing the feeder to lean to one side and stay there and spilling seed. I don't know how the reviewer can say that the seed doesn't spill. I lose about a cup of seed everytime the squirrel jumps on it. Cute feeder - bad design. Going to my auction box. Waste of money.

I replaced a plastic bird feeder with this copper bird feeder. On the first day my smart squirrel figured out how to lift the lid (don't ask me how the squirrel figured this one out) and get the seed out. I have had this feeder for about 2 months now, no more "breaking and entering" by the squirrel(s) and I love it! Worth the money if you plan on long time devotion to feeding our feathered friends.

I have a problem with squirrels. I seem to feed the squirrels more than I do the birds. This bird feeder really is squirrel proof!! The top actually locks in place and the squirrels can't get it open. This is a beautiful bird feeder to hang on your patio or porch.
