About This Item

Details

  • Platform feeder is constructed of durable and attractive cedar wood.
  • Features a dove and pigeon-proof mesh made of vinyl-coated steel. This feeder is not squirrel proof—to protect your bird feeders from squirrels, please use baffles or domes.
  • Easy to clean—since this feeder does not come apart, all you have to do is spray, the feeder with a high-pressure hose. The double screen bottom of the feeder allows it to dry quickly. It's also recommended to spray with a weak vinegar solution and rinse excessively to help disinfect as needed.
  • Holds approximately 4 pounds of your preferred feed blend.
  • Use of all-seed blends is recommended for this feeder since songbirds usually avoid grains like corn, wheat and milo.

Would this prevent European starlings from using this feeder?

Answer by Chewy • Jan 17, 2021
With starlings being considered a small to medium size bird, they may be able to use the feeder.

Can birds like cardinals and other birds of this size enter this feeder to reach the seeds? Which birds have you actually observed using this feeder?

Answer by Chewy • Jan 27, 2021
This Bird Feeder is designed to attract a variety of feathered friends, including cardinals, grosbeaks, juncos, buntings, bluebirds, finches, sparrows and smaller songbirds. It is also designed to prevent larger, more aggressive birds like doves and pigeons entering the bird feeder.

To discourage pigeons from eating all the seed before the songbirds have a chance I decided to give this a try. It works for that nicely. Because the BlueJays and Cardinals were having a hard time reaching in the sides where the openings are larger, I modified the feeder by adding perching bars on two sides. That works well. I'm still trying to figure out a way to remove the base for cleaning. The way it is attached would make it difficult to remove and reattach. That may also need modification using a heavier piece of perforated metal for a floor. It can work OK as it comes out of the box but some modifications makes it even better.

Overpriced and hard to clean

It does keep large birds out, but it's a nightmare to clean. I tidy up/clean my bird feeders weekly. But one week we had a full week of intense rain and humidity

It does keep large birds out, but it's a nightmare to clean. I tidy up/clean my bird feeders weekly. But one week we had a full week of intense rain and humidity which left this thing caked in mold. I had to soak it multiple times in bleach and scrub and scrub through the tiny holes. WHY DOESN'T THE LID COME OFF??? I don't know if it would keep squirrels out, mine is hanging on a squirrel proof pole, but my guess is not.

Birds like it...we use it for dried mealworms...birds such as bluebirds, wrens, sparrows, and even a few smaller mockingbirds go in and out of cage with ease. The only thing we'd change is to have a way to remove the wire cage for cleaning.

The construction was outstanding. Big feeder.

Not having any top ot canopy makes it costly to restock repeatedly. The food gets wet immediately. The only complaint

I love to feed the birds, but the larger birds were stealing food from the small birds. I got tired of startling the large birds from inside the house so they would fly away, so I looked for a different feeder. I saw this one in Chewy, ordered it and it arrived several days later. I put black oil sunflower seeds and thistle seeds in it and the small birds are very happy! I still have my hanging tray feeder filled with the black oil sunflower seeds and peanuts in the shell. The large birds are happy too! Our property is surrounded by farms, so we don't have any trees. Since moving here 21 years ago, I have seen 2 squirrels on our property, so I don't have issues with them. I'm very very happy with this feeder!

Bought a second one

This bird feeder does a fantastic job keeping out the larger birds. It takes a few more minutes to clean than other feeders, so I only add about a half cup of feed

This bird feeder does a fantastic job keeping out the larger birds. It takes a few more minutes to clean than other feeders, so I only add about a half cup of feed at a time (usually per day), which keeps the seed husks from building up. I love it so much, that I'm buying a second one.

Keeps large birds like me out too

I wanted to love it because I attracted so many grackles, doves and starlings. I can't afford to feed them and with spring near oh boy! The problem with this feeder

I wanted to love it because I attracted so many grackles, doves and starlings. I can't afford to feed them and with spring near oh boy! The problem with this feeder is that there's is no opening for even me to access it to fill seeds or clean.
