Bird Feeder for Outdoors (Brushed Metal Copper) Hanging Bird Feeders with Locking Lid & Adjustable Hanger, Chew-Proof, Weather Resistant (15 Inches, 6 Port)

I have bought so many bird feeders for my garden. Each time, squirrels have figured out how to chew holes in them or throw them to the ground to scatter the seed. These are the best, most economical bird feeders that I have found. The six perches are metal & can't be chewed off. The top has a ring and a looped cord to use as hangers. I use both on my shepherd hooks. They act as a safety net that deter my jumping squirrels. The only thing that takes time is when you screw on the top. Again, squirrel deterrent.

Overall, a good feeder. It's easy to fill and looks nice. When full of seeds, I get 6 birds on the feeder at the same time. I am unsure of the squirrel protection. Got my first squirrel once I got this feeder (after 15+ years of living here). It is a ground squirrel and so far, has not climbed the tree to get to the feeder as there are plenty of seeds that fall to the ground. Beware of these cute fuzzy creatures - mine has killed and eaten a bird! (look up carnivorous squirrels if you're interested) I have two complaints. The first is that the underside of the top lid and the base have rust. I live in the coastal desert but it has rained the past few days. Considering I've only had this for a few weeks, I was a bit shocked to see the rust. The openings/perches are still in perfect condition. The second complaint is that seed debris falls between the clear plastic cylinder and the base. I can't remove the base to get these out. I'm afraid to clean with water as this might create the perfect conditions for mold growth. It is a very affordable feeder and served my purpose to figure out whether feeding birds was worthwhile. It is! BTW, it took about 2-3 weeks for the birds to start using, even though I placed close to a bird bath that gets a lot of use. Now I get a variety of birds throughout the day and need to fill it every day. I fill with black oil sunflower seeds as I read this was the most nutritious food and usually does not attract mice, which like the grains (read bird seed ingredients carefully).

Love this bird feeder. The top screws on so the squirrels can’t get it off. And the pegs don’t come out which is huge because the squirrels like to destroy my other feeder. It’s also beautiful. It’s the perfect feeder for my backyard.

Works well, and is secure. I didn't want to use the tacky black wires that it came with, so I hung it by the loop on top and it works just fine. Unfortunately if you're looking for something pretty, this won't be it hence the four stars. It rust extremely quickly. See photos. You will need a extended bottle cleaner to clean it well. So far squirrels haven't bothered it much. It doesn't hold as much as my other bird houses but at least I'm not wasting as much seed.

Hanging from our deck. It is not squirrel proof, but they seem disinterested in it compared with other options. The birds love it - we have a great variety of birds feeding from it! Good purchase. Good value for money. Would buy again.
