Received as a Christmas gift and was I excited! I opened the box and a little of the excitement died. The feeder was very small, disproportionate for something that was going to make a statement in the backyard. The hole for the bird was very TINY, much smaller than a sparrow would be able to enter. I looked on the box to see where the feeder had been manufactured. No info. Translation: China. Even though the box touted Danish designers, coolness, blah blah. I decided to keep it anyhow with some hopes.

So birds seemed to be freaked out by the clear glass. There is no perch, they would fly up and just hover. The hole was just to small for them to fly near, land and eat. Plus it swung wildly if they attempted to land. It was the lowliest feeder in the land - nothing ever went near it.

Finally, a squirrel chewed through the copper hanging wire and the thing fell to the ground and shattered into a million pieces. There went over $60, didn't even last 3 months.

Obviously, no product testing.

Piece o' crap! Save your money visit a bird store & go with the staff recommendation-they know what they are talking about.

My wife and I love our Eva Solo hanging bird feeder. A beautiful object in its own right, it provides a lot of pleasure from the clarity of the glass.

It's the perfect size for the finches and other small songbirds that we love to see. If you hang it from a rafter or a sturdy branch far from others, squirrels can't get in (though we watched one, cartoonishly, almost hang by its tail, trying and failing).

The small birds fly in and sit pecking while others have to linger nearby and wait their turn. The large birds, like crows and grackles, can't manage it.

It's easy to refill with a quarter cup measure, though it does need to be washed every few loads.
