3.0 out of 5 stars Accomodates a large number of finches, but too difficult to clean, August 13, 2009

This review is from: Droll Yankees CJTHM36Y 36-Inch Yellow 20-Port Thistle Seed Feeder for Finches (Lawn & Patio)

I have a LOT of goldfinches. I can have as many as 12-14 finches at a time, so I needed a large feeder. I fill this feeder usually weekly, so I go thru a lot of food. I really feel Droll Yankees makes the best, so I bought this feeder. I noticed there was some mold near one of the lower perches. I immediately emptied out the feeder and made an effort to clean it. NIGHTMARE! The 10 perch rods run thru the center, so using a brush to clean the bottom wasn't happening, assuming you own a 36 inch brush. I tried filling up the tube, but the water leaked out the ports. To make a long story short, I was unable to clean the feeder, so I purchased a new Droll Yankees onyx everclean nijer feeder. It is 24 inches and has only 9 perches, but at least the birds won't get ill from the mold. The feeder is otherwisse well made - just impossoble to clean. Hope this review helps!

i just ordered my 2nd 36-inch 20-port feeder. I had to ..... as I type there are over 50 goldfinches outside my window all trying to feed! i also have 2 of the Droll Yankees 6 port tube feeders in use, Droll Yankees CJTHM15G 15-Inch Green New Generation Thistle Feeder which I can also recommend but the bigger feeder is probably a best bet.

Goldfinches feed in flocks so the bigger the better! I put my first feeder out in February and within a week was stunned to have them suddenly appear en masse. This is a new home for me and I had no clue what birds might show up to feed. I also purchased Droll Yankees YF Flipper Bird Feeder for feeding other types of birds and keeping the squirrels off - it does work!

Was hoping for Goldfinches with the Nyjer seed and the tube feeders and was I ever rewarded! This is a durable well made easy to fill (although it is 3 feet tall) feeder. The only drawback is the amount of thistle seed these lovely creatures can eat!! But it's worth it for the enjoyment it brings me (and my 2 cats who love to sit and watch all day out the window). It's a five star product - just ask a Goldfinch! : )

Although this feeder is plastic, it looks nice and as soon as I put it up lots of new birds appeared in my yard! I already had more standard feeders, but this one seemed to offer soemthing new with the Nyger seed. Big birds won't go for it-- so the little goldfinches get their own place now. Fun!
