 Good theory, but has lots of problems July 1, 2007

I love the Droll Yankees company because of the superior construction of their products and their no questions asked guarantees. Unfortunately this feeder has lots of problems. I sold it at my store in the hopes that only small birds could fly under the baffle and larger birds wouldn't be able to use it. (We have an extraordinary number of white-winged doves in our area who turn into real feeder hogs.) It did work for that reason. The small birds could fly in under the baffle and feed and the doves never figured it out. They just hung on top and pooped all over the baffle and so it needed to be cleaned constantly. That aside, the really big problems with this feeder were that the small birds, although they could fly under the baffle and eat, would sit in the seed area and also poop while they ate. NOT GOOD for birds' health so it required lots of going through the seed to get poop out. On top of that, the seed shifts around as the birds eat, so the thing was always lopsided and lots of seed spilled out the bottom as well. Finally, it was a disaster in the wind. The bottom seed holder swings around wildly in the wind. I finally quit selling it in my store.
 Excellent feeder and lasts a long time November 27, 2007

I used this feeder for more than a dozen years before moving to an area where I could no longer use it. It never gave me a problem, except that in our Pacific Northwest climate you do have to clean it every couple of months or so to keep the seeds from clogging at the distribution point in the bowl. At that point here in the Seattle area, the seeds can get damp and cling together and rot. This is where the seeds flow down to the individual ports where birds must perch on the outside, and below the bowl, in order to feed. In my area, the only birds able to do that are the various finches, pine siskens and chickadees. House sparrows couldn't do it and that is one of the advantages of the feeder. The other advantage is that squirrels are unable to get the seeds. To avoid the problem of birds flying up into the seed hopper that another reviewer had is to simply lower the dome - it's adjustable up and down. I was able to lower it far enough so that birds couldn't fly into the seed hopper, but they could still fly up and perch on the feed ports. Wind was never a problem for me.
It's just a great feeder and should I get to an area where I can have feeders, I will buy one of these again.
